Directions

Step 1
In a small bowl, mix the breadcrumbs, wheat germ, ginger and curry. Set aside.
Step 2
In another bowl, mix the pangasius, green onion, red pepper, 1/2 cup (125 mL) breadcrumbs, egg and 1/4 cup (60 mL) yogurt. Season with salt and pepper to taste. If the mixture seems too runny, add breadcrumbs. If it seems too dry, add yogurt.
Step 3
Pour remaining breadcrumb mixture onto a flat plate. Using your hands, form into 4 large fish croquettes or 8 small ones and coat with the breadcrumb mixture. Remove excess. Set aside.
Step 4
In a small bowl, mix remaining yogurt, fresh cilantro and garlic. Add Tabasco to taste. Cover and refrigerate.
Step 5
In a non-stick frying pan, heat oil over medium-high heat and cook croquettes for about 4 to 6 minutes per side or until golden brown. Serve on a bed of baby greens with vegetable couscous and yogurt sauce.
