Keto Fish Cakes with Avocado Lemon Dipping Sauce

Fish cakes recipe & content provided by Jordan Pie

Move over, chicken nuggets: Fish cakes make the perfect keto-friendly appetizer or weeknight dinner, and only take a few minutes to prepare. This recipe is filled with fragrant herbs and bright flavor — but to get it right, you need high-quality ingredients.

For the best fish cakes, use a white fish with firm flesh like bream, haddock, catfish, pollock, or pacific sole. These fish are low in mercury, and getting wild-caught filets will boost the nutrient profile of your fish cakes while adding delicious flavor. Just make sure you remove the bones!

Serve these golden brown fish cakes with the avocado lemon cream dipping sauce to add refreshing creaminess to this dish. If you have dipping sauce left over, store it in a glass container in your fridge and use it to top eggs, salad, or toasted collagen bread.
