Ingredients

  • 2 pounds fresh cod fillets
  • 1 cup soy creamer
  • 1 medium red onion, chopped
  • 2 large eggs
  • 3 tablespoons potato starch
  • 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 pinch salt and pepper to taste
  • tablespoon vegan butter (such as Earth Balance ®), or more to taste
  • 1 cup water, or as needed
  • 1 splash dry white wine

Directions

Step 1
Break cod into pieces and place in a food processor with soy creamer, onion, eggs, potato starch, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and pepper; process until evenly blended. Transfer to a bowl, cover, and refrigerate for at least 4 hours.

Step 2
Remove from the refrigerator and shape into balls (think crab cake size but thicker.)

Step 3
Melt butter in a skillet over medium heat. Add fish balls and saute on all sides until golden brown, 8 to 10 minutes. Add 1/2 inch water to the skillet with wine. Cover, bring to a simmer, and cook until cooked through, about 10 more minutes.

Cook’s Note:

You can use half-and-half in place of soy creamer, and real butter in place of vegan butter.
