Crispy and Zesty Guilt-free pleasure Fish Cakes

Ingredients:

Halisi Cooking oil, 280g finely chopped white fish (catfish, or cod), 70g whole-wheat breadcrumbs, 3 tbsp finely chopped fresh cilantro, 2 tbsp Thai sweet chili sauce, 2 tbsp mayonnaise, 1 large egg, 1/8 tsp salt, 1/4 tsp ground pepper, 2 lime wedges

Instructions:

1. Begin by coatingthe basket of the air fryer with Halisi cooking oil to prevent the fish cakes from sticking.
2. In a medium bowl, combine the finely chopped white fish, whole-wheat panko breadcrumbs, fresh cilantro, Thai sweet chili sauce, canola mayonnaise, egg, salt, and ground pepper. Mix well until all the ingredients are thoroughly combined, creating a flavorful fish cake mixture.
3. Shape the mixture into four 3-inch-diameter cakes, ensuring they are evenly sized for even cooking.
4. Take the prepared fish cakes and coat them with cooking spray. This will help achieve a golden, crispy exterior. Place the coated fish cakes in the air fryer basket.
5. Set the air fryer to 400°F (200°C) and cook the fish cakes for approximately 9 to 10 minutes. Keep an eye on them to ensure they are nicely browned and reach an internal temperature of 140°F (60°C).
6. Once cooked to perfection, remove the air-fried fish cakes from the air fryer. Serve them on a plate, accompanied by lime wedges for that extra burst of citrusy flavor.
