How to Prepare Baked ‘Fish’ Cakes With Lemon Herb Mayo [Vegan]

Preheat oven to 375°F.
Pulse chickpeas 1 cup at a time in a food processor so it is a course meal. You don’t want it to be smooth like hummus and a few whole chickpeas are fine. Place each batch into a large bowl until all the chickpeas are pulsed.
Cut nori sheets with scissors into small pieces and add to the chickpeas. In a small bowl whisk the miso, mayo, lemon juice, salt, and pepper until thoroughly combined. Add to the chickpeas and with a spatula combine the ingredients until mixed.
Add the onions, parsley and 3 tablespoons panko and stir until well combined.
In a shallow bowl or pie plate, add the rest of the panko crumbs. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Using 1/4 cup measuring cup, scoop level amount of chickpea mixture and lightly pack. Take the mixture out of the cup and form into a patty about 2 to 2 1/2 inches wide. Lightly press both sides into panko crumbs and set on lined baking sheet. Repeat with the rest of the mixture. I got eight 1/4 cup cakes and one slightly smaller cake. Bake for 15-17 minutes until golden brown.
While the cakes are baking, make the sauce. Combine all ingredients to a food processor or blender and process until very smooth. Set aside until cakes are ready.
Transfer cakes to serving plate and top with sauce and chives. Serve with lemon wedges.

Notes

The cake mixture without the panko crumbs makes for an excellent “tuna” sandwich filling.
