Fish Cake Sandwich with Roasted Asparagus and Saffron Aioli

This easy meal is a great go-to when you have a bunch of crappy frozen white fish. Plus everything tastes better in 'cake' form, like muffins. "What the fuck is aioli?" Aioli, dumbass, is a fancy chick word for a glorified mayonnaise. "I like mayo!" I know you do. Let's begin:

Cook your fish according to manufacturer's instructions. When fully cooked flake apart with a fork and put in a large bowl. Do not mush up your fish. Combine with 1 egg, 1 scallion, 2tbl mayo, 2 tbl dijon mustard, a lot of breadcrumbs, a lot of Old Bay, and a few dashes of tabasco. "What the fuck is a scallion? Dammit tell me how many breadcrumbs I should use!" You are feisty this morning. What happened? Wake up alone to your unfulfilling existence? A scallion is a small ass onion that looks like a giant clove of garlic and use like 1/4c breadcrumbs and increase until the fishies stick together.

Put your cakes in the freezer for a minute or two in order to firm them up. Fry over medium heat for about two minutes per side. "These look more like fish burgers rather than fish cakes." Don't fucking play semantics with me because you WILL get burned asshole. Call them whatever the fuck you want. I don't give a shit.

For the aioli pour 1/4c red wine vinegar into a small saucepan and add 1tbl honey and a pinch of saffron. Boil and immediately remove from heat and cool. Mix with 1c mayo and 2 cloves of garlic. Salt and pepper. Roast some asparagus and you got yourself a sandwich, bitch.

Woah dude, I'm surprised that no other nincompoop besides me noticed this. I think that the "small ass onion" you're referring to is a shallot. A scallion is the skinny ass green onion that looks like grass on 'roids.
