Ingredients
Method
Ingredients
- 600g salmon fillets, skin off, roughly chopped
- 1 tablespoon fish sauce, plus 1 tablespoon extra
- 2 eggs
- ½ teaspoon ground white pepper
- 1 cup panko breadcrumbs
- 4 spring onions, finely sliced
- Juice of a lemon
- 1 tablespoon brown sugar
- 2 Lebanese cucumbers
- 4 stalks celery, sliced as thinly as possible
- 4 radishes, thinly sliced
- ½ bunch Thai basil, leaves picked (or substitute for mint)
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- ½ bunch coriander, leaves picked, stems sliced
Method
- Combine salmon, 1 tablespoon fish sauce, coriander stems, eggs and pepper in a food processor. Blend until just combined. Stir in the breadcrumbs and half the spring onions. Set aside.
- Combine lemon juice, brown sugar and remaining fish sauce in a large bowl. Use a vegetable peeler to shave the cucumber into thin wide strips. Add to the dressing bowl along with celery, radishes, Thai basil, coriander leaves and remaining spring onions.
- Heat a large heavy-based frying pan over medium-high heat. Add olive oil, then divide salmon mixture into 8 equal sized fish cakes. Cook for 2 minutes or until golden brown, then carefully turn over with an egg slide, cook a further 30 seconds until just cooked through. Remove from pan and divide between serving plates. Serve fish cakes with cucumber salad.
Nutrition Tip: Fresh and tinned salmon are both great sources of Omega-3 fatty acids which are important for healthy heart, eye and brain function. This recipe lends itself well to either fresh or tinned salmon and makes a great lunch or dinner!
