Ingredients
- Ingredients
- 2 shallots (chopped)
- vegetable oil (for cooking)
- 100 grams Toast
- 250 milliliters milk
- 800 grams Cod
- 3 eggs
- 1 Tbsp chopped Dill

- For the vegetables

Preparation steps
Peel the shallots and chop finely. Sweat until translucent in a little oil. Soak the toast in milk. After 10-15 minutes, squeeze excess milk from toast and puree toast in a blender with the shallots, fish fillet, eggs, dill and salt and pepper to taste. If the mixture is too soft, add some breadcrumbs. Knead in the cilantro.
Rinse the cucumber, halve lengthwise, scrape out the seeds and slice into thin slices. Peel the ginger and cut into small cubes. Rinse the chile pepper, cut in half lengthwise, remove seeds and chop. Cook everything in the hot butter for 3-5 minutes.
While cucumber is cooking, form the fish mixture into 12 balls. Fry in batches in a skillet in hot oil until golden brown on all sides, about 4 minutes. Serve with braised cucumber and garnish with lime wedges.
