Delicious and crispy fish patties made with tilapia and aromatic spices, perfect as an appetizer.
1. Blend Ingredients
Combine the tilapia, shallots, garlic, ginger, and salt in a food processor. Blend until the mixture becomes a smooth, even paste.
2. Shape Patties
Lightly oil a large plate. Take portions of the fish mixture and form them into patties. Flatten each ball to about 1.5 inches in diameter. You should get around 15 to 18 patties.
3. Heat Oil
Heat a generous amount of peanut oil in a large heavy skillet over medium-high heat until hot and shimmering.
4. Fry Patties
Carefully place the patties into the skillet, frying them in batches to avoid overcrowding. Fry each side for about 3 to 4 minutes until golden and crispy. Use a spatula to flip them.
5. Drain Excess Oil
Transfer the patties to a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil. Repeat the frying process for the remaining patties.
6. Serve
Serve the crispy golden fish patties on a bed of lettuce leaves with Tart-Sweet Chile-Garlic Sauce.
