This recipe is super easy and wonderful for summer! It's truly my favorite fish meal of all time now and I can't wait till it's 90 degrees out again so I can make this again.  oooo and it's supposed to be 90 this weekend and I have a pound of Cod in my freezer!! Joy!

Cod Cakes
Serves: 6

Ingredients:
1 lb cooked cod (I just gently poached it in some water for a few minutes, till the fish flakes)
1 egg, beaten
1/4 cup mayonnaise
3/4 cups Ritz Cracker crumbs, plus 1/2 cup more for coating the cakes.
2 Tbsp finely minced parsley
1 Tbsp horseradish
1 Tbsp mustard
a pinch of dill (Oh my, now that I think about it, I think I forgot the dill!!! ahhh!!
salt and fresh cracked pepper

Directions:
In a mixing bowl break the cooked fish apart a bit and add the rest of the ingredients.  With your fingers or a spoon gently mix everything together, breaking the fish up but keeping some texture. 

Using a scoop or a spoon, form into 6 equal balls and roll the the reserved crumbs. The mixture will be wet so form and roll them gently.  Place the cakes on a plate and flatten them slightly into a disk shape.

Heat several Tbsp of olive oil in a saute pan and fry the cakes until golden on each side and hot throughout.  

Serve over your favorite fresh greens, with a wedge of lime and the salsa on the side.  I served over fresh spinach. yum!
