1
Steam the cod fillets in a steamer basket for 6–7 minutes until fully cooked through.
2
Gently mash the steamed fish with a fork to break it apart.
3
Transfer the mashed fish to a large bowl, add the cooked potatoes, and mix well while allowing the mixture to cool slightly.
4
Crack one egg, beat it lightly, and add it to the mixture.
5
Stir in fresh parsley, lemon zest, salt, and black pepper to taste.
6
Gradually add panko breadcrumbs, mixing as you go, until the mixture reaches the right consistency and holds together well.
7
Shape the mixture into small croquettes, each weighing about 40 grams, using slightly damp hands.
8
Set up a breading station. Coat each croquette first in flour, then in beaten eggs, and finally in panko breadcrumbs, ensuring an even coating.
9
Heat the oil to just under 180°C, then deep-fry the croquettes until golden and crispy on the outside.
10
Drain on paper towels, season with salt if desired, and squeeze fresh lemon juice over the croquettes just before serving.
