Step-by-Step Instructions

1. 1.Fillet the fish

   Carefully fillet the Silverfin fish, removing the skin and any large bones. The chef mentions that this fish is very nutritious.

2. 2.Boil the fish fillets

   Place the fish fillets into a pan with water and lemon halves. Bring to a boil and cook until the fish is tender and flaky, which helps in easily removing the bones.

3. 3.Debone and flake the fish

   Once cooked, remove the fish from the water. Carefully debone the fish and flake the meat onto a cutting board or plate. Ensure all small bones are removed.

4. 4.Combine ingredients for fish cakes

   In a large mixing bowl, combine the flaked fish. Add 2 tablespoons of melted butter, 1/2 cup of béchamel sauce, 1/4 cup of grated Parmesan cheese, and 1.5 cups of fresh breadcrumbs. Add 1-2 teaspoons of Louisiana hot sauce and season with salt and pepper to taste.

5. 5.Mix thoroughly

   Using your hands, thoroughly mix all the ingredients until well combined and a cohesive mixture is formed.

6. 6.Form fish patties

   Take portions of the fish mixture and form them into small, flat patties, about 1-inch thick. Place them on a plate.

7. 7.Pan-fry the fish cakes

   Heat the remaining 2 tablespoons of melted butter in a large pan over medium heat. Once the butter is hot, carefully place the fish patties into the pan. Fry for several minutes on each side until golden brown and cooked through.

8. 8.Serve

   Remove the cooked fish cakes from the pan and plate them. Serve hot to guests. The chef is seen serving multiple plates to people enjoying the dish outdoors.
