Cod Patties With Two Dipping Sauces

Submitted by The Flying Chef

"I made these as I had some sweet potato to use up and some left over prawns that I needed to use in something, they turned out very good for so few ingredients. The sauces were both good we prefered the pickle relish sauce but the creamy boursin sauce was lovely too, I think that it was just becuase of the tang of the other one, that paired it that bit better with the cod patties. Anyway considering both were experimental I was pleased with both. I served this for 3 as I knew my men would eat 3 patties each and I only two and accompanied it with a green salad. I think this would easily serve 4, 2 patties perperson with a nice salad and some crusty bread perfect. If you want to make these for a BBQ I would make the patties much smaller to yield more, as if having accompanied with other meats you don't want them as main meal size portrions, I think you would probaly get 15-20 patties then."

directions

1. Peel and chop sweet potato, add to boiling water and boil until tender, drain, mash, allow to cool.
2. Blend or process cod, prawns and egg until well blended, little chunks of cod and prawns are fine, you don't want big whole bits of cod or prawn.
3. Add onions, parsley, garlic and potato, stir to combine, making sure all ingredients are well blended. Refrigerate mix while you make the sauces. (don't worry I have not forgot the panko!).
4. Tangy Relish Sauce.
5. Combine relish, mayo, mustard and juice in a small bowl, place in fridge until needed.
6. Creamy Boursin Sauce.
7. Combine boursin, mayo and milk, mix, until smooth, add lemon juice, chives, mustard and green onion, stir to combine, again place in fridge until needed.
8. Back to the patties.
9. Remove fish mix from fridge, pour your panko flakes onto a plate.
10. Heat some olive oil in a pan, takes spoonfuls of fish mix and shape into patties (it will be quite sticky don't worry) Coat the outside of each pattie with panko flakes. (I do this instead of mixing panko into mixture as it gives the patties a lovely crisp finish to the outside.
11. Add patties to the pan and cook until nicely browned on both sides and cooked through, serve with dipping sauces.
