Boxing day: The leftovers of our Plokkfiskur...

...then went into these fish cakes.

We recently had plokkfiskur , this typical Icelandic pounded fish. But we were less hungry people than planned in the short term, so half was left. I then used these leftovers into fish cakes the next evening.

As a side dish we had some Plokkfiskur, this time baked with plenty of cheese. And fried onions on the side - I love fried onions!

Ingredients

500 g Plokkfiskur

1/2 onion

60 g flour

2 Tbsp grated Parmesan

1 pinch of coarse sea salt

1 pinch of ground pepper

1 egg

2 Tbsp breadcrumbs

oil for frying

Preparation

Peel the onion and chop it finely.

Place the plokkfiskur in a bowl and add the onion pieces, flour, grated cheese, salt and pepper and the egg. Knead everything into a thick dough.

Then form small balls out of the dough with your hands.

Place the breadcrumbs on a plate and coat the fish balls in them.

Heat the oil in a large pan and fry the fish balls in the hot fat.

Then serve with fresh salad or something similar.

Or simply gratinated plokkfiskur and fried onions, like we do here. It doesn't look particularly pretty, but it's hearty, hearty and warming for body and soul.
