Rice Fish cakes


Are you are looking for a new
way to cook Tilapia?

rice that cooks perfectly every time and is ready in 
less than 10 minutes.  
This is a sponsored post written by me on behalf of Success® Rice.

Rice Fish Cakes

2 cups Success Rice (1 bag)
 1 quart chicken broth or water 
1 lb Fish (flaked)
1 small onion (minced)
2 tbs. butter
1 t. Worcestershire sauce
1/2 lemon (juiced)
2 eggs (lightly beaten) 
2 tbs. cajun seasoning
1/2 cup- Plus more for dusting Panko, 
breadcrumbs or crushed crackers
1/2 cup oil

Cook Success Rice in chicken broth or water.

Heat butter over medium heat and cook
onions until soft.

In a large bowl mix all ingredients
except extra Panko and oil.

Refrigerate 5 minutes.

Shape into patties and cover with Panko.

Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Place cakes in pan (small batches) and fry 
until browned, about 4-5 minutes each side.
Serve warm.

**Cakes can be stored in freezer for 1 month before cooking.**

We like to serve our Rice-Fish Cakes with a
nice lite salad, or with an egg on top.



What will you serve your cakes with?
Roasted Potatoes, Corn or 
as a Fancy Appetizer?


The cakes are nice and flaky and you
can see the fluffy rice.

**Hey Y'all!**
We are so excited that our
Cast Iron Crawfish Cornbread 
is being shared, 
but we saw a few of you had questions
and comments.
Here are our answers.

When do you put in crab boil n how much?
We do not use the crab boil instead we use
Cajun seasoning to taste.
Remember if you are using boiled crawfish
the crab boil could be over powering.

Add a can of cream of mushroom and it makes it a bit more moist
You could add cream of mushroom soup,
but this dish is very moist and 
could become soggy if too much liquid is used.
