Notes
Serving
When the fish cakes are golden and fully cooked in the air fryer, it's time to think about plating.To create a complete meal experience, you can start by choosing a rustic, coarse rye bread. The rye bread can either be cut into slices or, for a more rustic look, broken into manageable pieces. This bread provides a lovely contrast to the fine, seasoned fish cakes and adds a wonderful texture to the meal.
Spread a generous layer of homemade remoulade on each slice of rye bread
The remoulade, with its creamy consistency and tangy flavour, complements the fish perfectly. Next, place the warm fish cakes on top. It's important that the fish cakes are warm, so they can soften the rye bread slightly and let the flavours melt together.
To complete the serving, you can add a handful of fresh herbs.
Finally, for an extra touch, you can sprinkle a little fresh dill or parsley over the dish. This adds not only colour but also a fresh herbal flavour that pairs well with both the fish cakes and the remoulade.
