Toward the end of summer, I get bored with grilled food. Do you? If so, this is a

 quick and delicious dinner that you can make in no time, so that your kitchen

 doesn't get over-heated. 

Fish Patties with Spicy Mayonnaise

Ingredients:

For the Fish Patties

• 2 lbs boneless white fish, chopped
• 2 garlic cloves, chopped
• 2 tablespoons fresh ginger, grated
• 1 tablespoon sugar
• 2 shallots, chopped
• 1 small fresh red chili, chopped
• 1 egg
• 1/3 cup unsalted peanuts, chopped

For the Spicy Mayonnaise

• 1 cup mayonnaise
• 1 shallot, finely chopped
• 3 teaspoons red curry paste
• 2-3 tablespoons fresh coriander leaves, chopped
• 1 tablespoon lime juice
• 1 teaspoon sugar

Directions:

1. Process the fish through the egg until smooth.
2. Transfer into a bowl and stir in the peanuts.
3. Roll rounded tablespoons of the mixture into balls and flatten slightly into patties.
4. Deep fry in hot oil in batches until browned and cooked through. Drain on paper towels if you wish.
5. Meanwhile, make the mayonnaise: mix the mayo, shallot, curry paste, chopped coriander, lime juice and 1 tsp of sugar. Make sure it's mixed well and chill if desired until the fish patties are cooked.

Serve with a big salad with an Asian dressing and you're good to go!
