Cod cakes:
If starting with raw fish, poach it gently until the fish flakes. Drain well.
In a mixing bowl, break fish apart but keeping some texture; add the remaining ingredients. Gently mix.
Form into 6 equal balls; roll in the Ritz cracker crumbs. The mixture will be wet, so form and roll gently. Place the cakes on a plate/platter; flatten them slightly. Cover with plastic wrap; refrigerate until ready to fry.
Heat several T. olive oil in a skillet; fry cakes until golden on both sides and hot throughout.
Serve over fresh greens, with a wedge of lime and the salsa on the side. Garnish with a dab of sour cream, tartar sauce, or Thousand Island Dressing, if desired.
Salsa:
Cut the citrus sections in smaller pieces, and combine everything in a bowl. Check the seasoning; serve or refrigerate.
