Herbed Fish Cakes with Green Horseradish Sauce

These vibrant herbed fish cakes offer a sophisticated twist on a classic British favourite. By using fresh striped bass and a generous blend of flat-leaf parsley and coriander, these cakes are elevated with a bright, aromatic profile. The omission of heavy potato fillers makes this a lighter, diabetes-friendly option that relies on high-quality protein and heart-healthy olive oil. The accompanying green horseradish sauce provides a sharp, peppery contrast that perfectly cuts through the richness of the fish.

Ideal for a light lunch or an elegant starter, these homemade fish cakes are remarkably simple to prepare. Because they can be shaped a day in advance and chilled, they are a fantastic choice for stress-free entertaining. Serve them alongside a crisp seasonal salad or some steamed green beans for a nutritionally balanced meal that is as nourishing as it is flavourful.
