Featured on Real Simple

Serves 4| Hands-On Time: 15m | Total Time: 1hr 15m

Ingredients

• 4 6-ounce tilapia fillets
• kosher salt and black pepper
• 1/2 cup mayonnaise
• 2 large eggs
• 2 tablespoons chopped fresh dill
• 2 1/2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
• 3/4 cup panko
• 2 tablespoons canola oil
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 1/2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
• 5 ounces salad greens

Directions

1. Heat oven to 400° F. Place the tilapia on a rimmed baking sheet and season with ¾ teaspoon salt and ¼ teaspoon pepper. Bake until cooked through, 10 to 12 minutes. Let cool and flake into small pieces.
2. In a medium bowl, combine the mayonnaise, eggs, dill, and 1 tablespoon of the mustard. Fold in the tilapia and panko. Form the mixture into 8 cakes and chill for at least 30 minutes. Heat the canola oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Cook the tilapia cakes until golden, 3 to 5 minutes per side.
3. Meanwhile, in a large bowl, whisk together the olive oil, vinegar, the remaining 1½ teaspoons of mustard, ½ teaspoon salt, and ¼ teaspoon pepper. Add the salad greens and toss to combine. Serve with the fish cakes.
