Ingredients

4 servings

For the cakes

1 lb fresh red snapper fillets, skin removed
1 medium zucchini (about 8 oz), coarsely grated
1 tbsp fresh ginger, finely grated
1 tsp ground turmeric
2 scallions, green tops only, thinly sliced
2 tbsp fresh cilantro, finely chopped
1 large egg, lightly beaten
¼ cup rice flour
¾ tsp salt
3 tbsp coconut oil, divided

For the dipping sauce

¼ cup fresh ricotta
2 tbsp fresh parsley, finely chopped
1 tbsp apple cider vinegar
¼ tsp ground turmeric
¼ tsp salt
1–2 tbsp water

Instructions

1
Place the grated zucchini in the center of a clean kitchen towel, gather the edges, and wring firmly over the sink until no more liquid drips out. The zucchini should feel nearly dry to the touch. Set aside.
2
Pat the snapper fillets dry with paper towels, then finely chop them by hand into pieces no larger than 1/4 inch — you want a rough, chunky texture, not a paste. Transfer to a large mixing bowl.
