- Lemon wedges, for boiling cod
- 5 pounds cod fillets
- 3 pounds Yukon golden potatoes, peeled and quartered
- 2 Spanish onions, diced

Directions
In a pot of boiling water, add some salt and a bouquet garni of bay leaves, black peppercorns and lemon wedges. Add the cod fillets and boil 10 to 12 minutes; remove the cod from the water and cool in the refrigerator for 1 hour.
Boil the potatoes in plenty of salted water until tender. Drain, mash and cool completely.
Pan-fry the onions in a little bit of canola oil until soft. Set aside to cool.
In a large bowl, mix together the cod, potatoes, onions, sour cream, chives, mustard, scallions, Worcestershire sauce, Old Bay, garlic powder, white pepper and 1 tablespoon salt. Add the breadcrumbs and mix to combine. Form into 4-ounce cakes.
Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat; add some canola oil and 1 tablespoon melted butter. Pan-fry the cakes in batches until golden brown, 3 to 4 minutes per side. Repeat with the remaining cakes, using additional oil and butter as needed.

Recipe is fine. Guy and the chef did a good job preparing.
It took 10 mins to find the recipe. Cod Fish Cakes (what one might expect, Fish Cakes and COD all came back with NO hits. You need to improve your Search feature!
Couldn't someone have revised the ingredients for 4 SERVINGS or 8 at least.
We don't need to make 48!!!!!

We recently watched the episode on Diners, Drive-ins and Dives where they visited Yankee Lobster and they showed them serving this fabulous dish of "Cod Cakes"...I went out and got the ingredients the next day to try out the recipe for my husband and I. The only thing I did different is I substituted Cod with California Rock Fish. The dish was ABSOLUTELY DIVINE!! The flavors were very delicate. We served the Fish Cakes on a bed of field greens. The recipe was very easy and I can see this becoming a basic in my home. Absolutely delicious!!!
