Ingredients- 200g Fish Cakes (preferably the square type)
- 2 Tbsp Butter (softened)
- 1 Tbsp Honey
- 1/2 Tbsp Sugar
- 0.2 tsp Dried Parsley (for garnish)
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, confirm and prepare all the ingredients listed for this recipe.
Step 2
For this recipe, we’re using square fish cakes. Prepare about 200g of them. Cut the fish cakes into bite-sized pieces, roughly 3-4 cm squares. This size is perfect for easy eating and cooking in the air fryer.
Step 3
Melt 2 tablespoons of butter in the microwave. This usually takes about 1 to 1 minute and 30 seconds. You want the butter to be fully melted and smooth, but not boiling hot.
Step 4
Add 1 tablespoon of honey to the melted butter. The honey will provide a lovely sweetness and a beautiful glaze.
Step 5
Next, add 1/2 tablespoon of sugar. The sugar balances the sweetness of the honey and helps create a slightly caramelized finish when cooked.
Step 6
Whisk these ingredients together until well combined and smooth. Ensure the honey and butter are fully incorporated to create a cohesive sauce.
Step 7
Now, add all the cut fish cakes to the bowl with the honey butter sauce. Gently toss them using a spoon or spatula, making sure each piece is evenly coated with the sauce. Proper coating is key for delicious flavor.
Step 8
Arrange the coated fish cakes in the air fryer basket. It’s best to lay them out in a single layer, ensuring they don’t overlap too much. Overlapping can lead to uneven cooking.
Step 9
Air fry at 180°C (356°F) for 6 minutes. This initial cooking time will start to crisp up one side of the fish cakes.
Step 10
After 6 minutes, carefully remove the air fryer basket and flip each fish cake over. This ensures they cook evenly on all sides.
Step 11
Once flipped, return the basket to the air fryer and cook for another 6 minutes at 180°C (356°F). This second round of cooking will finish them off perfectly.
Step 12
Your delicious honey butter fish cakes are ready! They might look puffed up when they first come out of the air fryer, but they will shrink slightly as they cool. Enjoy them while they’re warm for the best texture.
Step 13
Transfer the finished fish cakes to a serving plate. Sprinkle with dried parsley for a touch of color and aroma. Enjoy this delightful snack or appetizer!
