Ingredients:

Serving

2 lbs mild white fish fillets, cut into 1/2-inch cubes (such as orange roughy or halibut)
1 cup finely chopped onion
6 garlic cloves, chopped
3 tbsp chopped fresh parsley
3 tbsp chopped fresh cilantro
1 tbsp ground cumin
2 tsp coarse kosher salt
1 tsp ground ginger
3/4 tsp ground black pepper
6 tbsp matzo meal or 6 tbsp breadcrumbs
1 large egg
10 -12 tbsp olive oil, for frying
1 1/2 cups mayonnaise
1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
6 large garlic cloves, minced
1 1/2 tbsp tomato paste
1 1/2 tsp hot spanish smoked paprika (pimenton de la vera, or 1 1/4 tsp hungarian sweet paprika and 1/4 tsp cayenne pepper)

Directions:

For Aioli: Combine all ingredients in small bowl; whisk to blend. Season aioli to taste with salt and pepper. (Can be made 1 day ahead. Cover and refrigerate.).
Line large baking sheet with plastic wrap. Coarsely grind fish in processor. Add next 8 ingredients; blend well. Add matzo meal and egg; process until smooth, scraping down sides of bowl occasionally. With moistened hands and using 1 generous tablespoon for each cake, shape mixture into patties about 13/4 inches in diameter and 1/2 inch thick; arrange on sheet.
Heat 3 tablespoons oil in heavy large skillet over medium heat. Fry fish cakes in batches until brown and cooked through, adding more oil to skillet by tablespoonfuls as needed, about 3 minutes per side. Transfer cakes to unlined baking sheet. (Can be made 1 day ahead. Refrigerate until cold, then cover with foil and keep refrigerated. Rewarm uncovered in 350°F oven about 10 minutes.).
Arrange fish cakes on plates. Spoon aioli alongside and serve.
