Preparation
Fresh halibut will pull apart pretty easily, so you can either cut it into small chunks or just use your fingers to pull it apart into small bits.
Mix the halibut with the egg and the ricotta in a bowl and season with salt and pepper.
In a skillet over medium heat, warm some olive oil or lard.
Form the halibut into cakes using either your hands or a half cup measuring cup.
The cakes should be no more than 1 inch thick.
Place the cakes in the pan and cook for about 5-7 minutes per side, or until golden brown.
Serve.
