Pollock is a white fish that belongs to the cod family and is widely used in the culinary world for its mild taste and flaky texture. Pollock cakes are a popular dish in coastal regions and are often served as an appetizer or a snack. This recipe is a healthier version of the traditional fish cakes, as it uses mashed vegetables, coconut flour, and coconut milk in place of bread crumbs and flour. The result is a delicious and nutritious dish that is perfect for seafood lovers.

Instructions

1.	Start by boiling the potatoes and carrots in a pot for about 15 minutes or until they are fork-tender.
2.	Drain the water and mash them together in a bowl until the mixture is smooth.
3.	In a separate bowl, beat the eggs well and add in the coconut milk and coconut flour while whisking.
4.	Add in the mashed vegetables and pollock flakes, and stir well until everything is combined.
5.	Season the mixture with salt and let it rest for about 5 minutes.
6.	In a frying pan, heat some coconut oil over medium heat and spoon the mixture into 2-inch round cakes.
7.	Cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side or until golden brown.
8.	Serve hot with your favorite dipping sauce.
