Frequently Asked Questions

Unlike other fish cake recipes that tend to be fried, we use the air fryer for our fish cake recipe, which lowers the amount of fat in it. Using whole-wheat panko breadcrumbs also boosts the fiber content a bit compared to breadcrumbs made with white flour.

White fish is a great source of protein and is low in calories, fat and carbs. While certain types of white fish may have some omega-3 fatty acids,you’ll find those most abundantly in “fatty fish"like salmon, mackerel, sardines, herring and rainbow trout.

Any white fish will work, such as grouper, catfish or cod. When shopping for fish, make sure it’s firm to the touch and select what looks freshest at the best price. You can also use frozen white fish that’sdefrosted properlyand patted dry before using.

Thai sweet chili sauce is a sweet and spicy condiment made with red chiles and garlic with a texture similar to honey. If you don’t have Thai sweet chili sauce, you can combine honey and Sriracha or honey and crushed red pepper as a substitute.

After shaping the fish cakes in Step 2, refrigerate them for at least 30 minutes to help them firm up before air-frying.

Nutrition Facts(per serving)

  • Daily Values (DVs) are the recommended amounts of nutrients to consume each day. Percent Daily Value (%DV) found on nutrition labels tells you how much a serving of a particular food or recipe contributes to each of those total recommended amounts. Per the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the daily value is based on a standard 2,000 calorie diet. Depending on your calorie needs or if you have a health condition, you may need more or less of particular nutrients. (For example, it’s recommended that people following a heart-healthy diet eat less sodium on a daily basis compared to those following a standard diet.)
