Method

1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Place the finely minced fish in a colander and press firmly to squeeze out as much excess moisture as possible.

   

2. In a medium bowl, combine the drained fish, minced onion, celery, low-fat mayonnaise, crushed crackers, egg, garlic powder, dill, paprika, and salt. Mix well and let the mixture rest for 10 minutes to bind.

   

3. Shape the mixture into 8 equal-sized patties. Place them at least 1 inch apart on a baking sheet lightly coated with cooking spray.

   

4. Bake for 10 to 15 minutes, then carefully flip the patties over and bake for an additional 10 minutes until golden and crispy. Serve warm.
