1 pound Boneless Fish Fillets; *see
note
1 lg Egg
One fourth cup Red Bell Pepper; seeded and

One fourth cup Mayonnaise
1 tablespoon Dijon Mustard
Salt And Freshly Ground
Pepper; to taste

more as needed

*Cod or catfish would work well.

Grind the fish fillets in a meat grinder or food processor or chop with
knife until fish is texture of hamburger. Mix fish, egg, bell pepper,
scallions, mayonnaise, mustard, salt and pepper. Add enough bread crumbs to
bind the mixture just enough to form into cakes; Start with 2 tbs. and use
more as needed. Refrigerate the mixture until ready to cook (it will be
easier to shape if you refrigerate it for 30 minutes or more, but it is
ready to use when you finish mixing.)

Season the flour with salt, pepper and curry or garlic powder. Preheat a
12inch skillet, preferably nonstick, over med. high heat. Add the oil and
butter and heat until the butter foam subsides.

Shape the fish mixture into four cakes, dredge each in the flour and cook,
adjusting the heat as needed and turning once (very gently), until golden
brown on both sides. Total cooking time will be about 10 minutes. Serve
with lemon wedges or tartar sauce.

Makes 2 to 4 servings.
