Mini Shrimp Fish Cake Sliders with Wasabi Mayo & Japanese Mayo



Comment: These sliders turned out fabulous. The fish cakes were warm and crispy, the mayo had good flavor with some heat, & the bread was soft and fresh. I made homemade buns for the first time to go with the shrimp fish cakes. I have always thought sliders make a cute appetizer, but I think they would be fun for kids too. Next time I make them I will try using Chipotle Mayo as a condiment, because I think it would go well with these mini cakes too.

Bun Recipe
I doubled the amount of yeast that the recipe called for and added brown sugar.
   
    Fish Cakes
    12 shrimp (medium sized)
    2 Tilapia Fillets
    1 clove garlic, chopped
    2 Tbsp onion, chopped
    salt/pepper to taste
    1 Tbsp Mayo
    1/2 tsp mustard
    dash lemon juice
    2 dashes Worcestershire
    1/2 an egg
    Pinch lemon pepper
    1/2 tsp smoked paprika 
    Pinch dried dill
    1/4 cup panko bread crumbs

Heat oil in pan and cook onions for 2 minutes. Add garlic and cook for 30 minutes before adding shrimp and fish. Break fish up into chunks while cooking. Season with salt and pepper. When the meat has finished cooking, take it off the heat and cut it up into smaller pieces. Mix the remaining ingredients in with your meat mixture. Shape each ball using 2 Tbsp of filling. With your hand press down so the top and bottom of the ball are flattened. Cook in oil over medium heat on each side for about 2 minutes.
