Fun project. The sauce was wonderful, lots of tang. We used a very mild fish, so the breadcrumb taste was what shined through for the fish cakes. I bet if you used wild salmon, it would give the fish cakes a great flavor.

These were delicious. I didn't think that left-over fish could taste so good. The herbs did the trick. I substituted whole wheat bread crumbs, for added nutrition and since I didn't have any capers, I used anchovy paste.
