Take your taste buds on an all-expenses-paid vacation to Thailand with our version of rich, crispy fish cakes. Flaky tilapia is combined with panko breadcrumbs and Asian spices, then pan-fried until tender on the inside and crunchy on the outside. Paired with a tart slaw of lime and cilantro, this healthy dish will satisfy your taste for global flavors.

Great recipe. My husband even enjoyed this one with the spice! The lime cilantro slaw was unlike any slaw I've ever eaten and cut the heat very well. I always thought fish cakes, crab cakes, etc. would be a lot of work and hard to cook, but I was way wrong instructions made it a breeze!
