- Remove the cooked fish cakes from the pan and place them on a paper towel to drain any excess oil.
- Prepare the Tartar Sauce:
- In a small bowl, combine the mayonnaise, pickle relish, lemon juice, and a pinch of salt.
- Mix well until all the ingredients are fully incorporated. Adjust the seasoning to taste.
