  • Step 1

    Preheat the oven to 200 degrees. Cut the red capsicum into 1cm cubes, place them on a baking tray, and roast in the oven until the edges are slightly charred and the capsicum is tender, about 15-20 minutes.

  • Step 2

    While the capsicum is roasting, dice the Nile perch into approximately 1cm cubes, and set aside.

  • Step 3

    In a large bowl, combine the diced Nile perch, grated Parmesan cheese, lightly whisked eggs, sugar-free mayonnaise, coconut flour, Dijon mustard, Worcestershire sauce, and Cajun seasoning. Mix well until the ingredients are evenly distributed.

  • Step 4

    Finely chop half of the basil leaves and all of the garlic. Add them to the fish mixture and stir to combine.

  • Step 5

    Shape the fish mixture into patties, about half an inch thick.

  • Step 6

    Heat half of the olive oil in a large frying pan over medium heat. Fry the fish cakes for about 4 minutes on each side or until they are golden brown and cooked through. Remove from the pan and keep warm.

  • Step 7

    For the roasted red pepper salsa, combine the roasted red capsicum cubes, finely chopped red onion, the remaining basil leaves, and lemon juice in a bowl. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Drizzle with the remaining olive oil and mix well.

  • Step 8

    Serve the Cajun fish cakes with a side of roasted red pepper salsa and a handful of mixed salad leaves for each plate.
