Fish cake salad

The fish lady is amazing, this weekend she had larger shrimp than usual, and some nice yellowtail, in addition to the sole I normally get. I made fried fish cakes out of them, good for sandwiches or alone or with a salad.

12 oz fresh fish and shrimp
2 eggs
1/4 cup bread crumbs
1/4 cup grated parmesan cheese
2 large mushrooms, chopped
1/4 onion chopped fine
2 cloves of garlic, crushed
1/4 cup half and half
1/4 cup olive oil
1/2 tsp salt and pepper

This makes maybe 4-8 servings, you can make it ahead of time and keep it for a few days.

Mix the ingredients in a large bowl, form into patties and pan fry on medium heat for 4-5 minutes per side. For dinner last night, I simply pulled salad from a bag (also from the Brentwood Farmer's Market, the salad dudes, pea sprouts and arugula and spinach), added some tomatoes, balsamic vinegar and french dressing, and put a fish cake on top. Yummy.
