Instructions
- Cook the haddock fillets in a steamer or in the oven until they are cooked through. Allow them to cool, then flake the fish into bite-sized pieces.
- In a large bowl, combine the flaked haddock, mashed potatoes, beaten egg, green onions, dill, salt, and pepper. Mix until well combined.
- Shape the mixture into patties, about 3 inches in diameter, and coat each one with breadcrumbs to ensure a crispy exterior.
- Heat vegetable oil in a frying pan over medium heat. Fry the fish cakes for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown and crispy.
- Drain the fish cakes on paper towels to remove any excess oil before serving.
- Serve the haddock fish cakes hot with a side of homemade tartar sauce or a fresh squeeze of lemon for a zesty finish.

- For a gluten-free version, use gluten-free breadcrumbs and ensure the haddock is certified gluten-free.
