Original recipe (1X) yields 6 servings

¼ cup vegetable oil, divided
1 pound skinless, boneless halibut fillets
salt and ground black pepper to taste
1 cup shredded Italian cheese blend
1 egg
¼ cup mayonnaise, or more as needed
¼ cup minced onion
2 tablespoons lemon juice
2 tablespoons panko bread crumbs
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon dry mustard
1 teaspoon seafood seasoning (such as Old Bay®)
¾ cup panko bread crumbs

Directions

Heat 2 tablespoons oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add halibut fillets; season with salt and pepper. Cook until flesh flakes easily with a fork, about 4 minutes per side. Transfer to a plate; cool until easily handled, about 5 minutes. Flake into small chunks.
Mix Italian cheese blend, egg, mayonnaise, onion, lemon juice, 2 tablespoons bread crumbs, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, dry mustard, and seafood seasoning together in a large bowl. Gently mix in flaked halibut, adding more mayonnaise if the mixture seems dry.
Pour 3/4 cup bread crumbs into a shallow dish. Shape halibut mixture into 6 cakes and dip both sides in bread crumbs to coat.
Heat remaining 2 tablespoons oil in the skillet over medium-high heat. Add halibut cakes and cook until browned, about 5 minutes per side.

Recipe Tip

Use your favorite type of grated cheese.

Super simple vegan stroganoff made with oyster mushrooms.

Vermicelli Noodle Bowl

This vermicelli bowl combines fresh herbs, rice vermicelli noodles, cucumber, bean sprouts, and grilled shrimp. Tossed with a tangy sweet-and-sour dressing and topped with crunchy nuts, it's a simple and satisfying meal.

Simple Banana Bread

I developed this banana bread recipe without baking soda because I had limited ingredients and wanted a bread recipe, not cake-like, while living in a 10-foot trailer. This recipe is also low in fat.

Donair

Donairs are a delicacy prevalent on the Canadian east coast, centered on the city of Halifax. These pita sandwiches are very delicious and simple to prepare. Make a double batch of the meatloaf and freeze the second loaf for later. The second loaf will be better — you can slice the cold meatloaf thin and fry in a hot pan as you need them.

Spicy Catalina Swai

Tasty grilled fish fillet with a tantalizing color and zesty, zingy taste. I love to experiment with grilling fish and marinades, and this is one I've recently come up with. Recipe also works well with trout; haven't tried it with other types of fish, though. If cooking more than one fish, grill each in separate foil to preserve flavor.
