This meal is so light and vibrant, it may just float off your plate and up to stratosphere on its own power. Fish cakes with zesty mojito lime fry up nice and easy in the pan, and are augmented by a slaw of ginger and poppy seed, bringing freshness to the proceedings. The only thing keeping this beauty nailed down is the speed you'll wolf it down once those charming flavors hit your taste buds.
