Instructions
Preheat oven to 400F. Pat fish dry.
Place each fillet on a large piece of heavy-duty foil.
Mix salt, coriander and 1/2 tsp. cayenne; sprinkle over fish. Top with ginger and limes. Fold foil over fish; seal.
Place on a baking sheet; roast until fish is cooked through, 12 to 18 minutes.
Remove fish from foil; let cool. Discard limes and ginger; pat fillets dry. Flake fish with a fork.
Line a baking sheet with parchment.
Mix egg whites, water chestnuts, cilantro, chives, shallots, lime juice, ponzu sauce and remaining 1/4 tsp. cayenne with fish. Fold in 1/2 cup plus 2 Tbsp. panko. Form 16 cakes, using 1/4 cup fish mixture for each. Put remaining panko in a shallow bowl. Dredge each cake in panko.
Place cakes on baking sheet; chill for 30 minutes.
Warm 1 Tbsp. oil in a nonstick skillet over medium heat. Cook cakes in batches until golden, about 4 minutes per side. Wipe skillet between batches; add oil as needed.
Recommended wine: Pinot Grigio, Gruener Veltliner, Pinot Noir
Fish works really well with Pinot Grigio, Gruener Veltliner, and Pinot Noir. Fish is as diverse as wine, so it's hard to pick wines that go with every fish. A crisp white wine, such as a pinot grigio or Grüner Veltliner, will suit any delicately flavored white fish. Meaty, strongly flavored fish such as salmon and tuna can even handle a light red wine, such as a pinot noir.
