In a large bowl mix together egg, mustard, worcestershire, mayonnaise, fresh dill, and old bay seasoning then whisk together all the wet ingredients until all combined. then add the cooked cod with the sauted onions and garlic and crushed saltines with salt and pepper and softly mix until all is incorporated.
Step 4

Step 5
Fry fish cakes in a combo of olive oil and butter for 4 to 5 minutes on one side and 3 to 4 on the other side until cooked remember the fish was already cooked through.
