Mackerel Cakes with Lemon Balm Pesto
1 can Mackerel, de-boned and skin removed
1 green onion chopped
15 saltine crackers, crushed fine
1 egg
1 teaspoon lemon juice
1/4 teaspoon salt
Oil to fry
Mix all ingredients but oil and form into patties. Place in hot oil to fry, flipping once. Top with Lemon Balm Pesto, https://coffeepot.wordpress.com/2019/05/29/lemon-balm/ to serve.
Lemon Balm can take over, if allowed. Mine has invaded and I decided I needed to start using more of it.
Here is a Lemon Balm pesto I plan on using with Mackerel Cakes this evening.
3/4 cup lemon balm leaves, washed well and firmly packed
1/2 cup cashews and almonds, mixed
3/4 cup Parmesan cheese
1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
3 cloves garlic
2 TB lemon juice
2 TB fresh chives
1/4 tsp salt
Run all through food processor until smooth.
