    Be warned, this recipe is starter size! I realised that it would not be enough for a main course, especially as my 2 salmon fillets only made 2 smallish fishcakes each so I served it with jasmine rice aswell. Would do again, but would perhaps add a bit more stuff to the fishcakes like lime zest & ginger.

    Bulked up the salmon to 480g which was plenty as a main meal for two. I would make again as they were tasty, but would add chilli. When cooked there is a strong fish smell.

    WOW. Super yum! I love it when you find a dish that's so super healthy and mega tatsy :-) I added ginger, salt and chilli to the fishcakes and they were delish'. I also added fennel to the salad to bulk it out. It was nice but maybe a little bit powerfull for the dish. Served with rice noodles and sweet chilli sauce. yum yum yum!

    Absolutely delicious!!! Would recommend them as a great starter or main meal for 1. Not enough for 2 main meals.

    Really tasty salad, goes very well with the fishcakes. We added ginger and garlic to the fish cakes, and - dare I say it - made them with tinned salmon because that's what we had in the cupboard. You need something to bulk this out, we had noodles tossed with sesame seeds and spring onions, delicious!

    Really delicious and simple to make. I served it with rice noodles and added red pepper and bean sprouts to the salad to bulk it out a bit and drizzled with my homemade Thai dressing!

    Lovely base recipe. Didn't have any thai red curry paste so added half the chilli to the fish cakes and half to the salad. Also added some spring onion and ginger to the fish cakes before blending. Instead of sugar I added sweet chilli sauce to the salad and it also needed some lime juice and nam pla. Leave the salad to marinade for as long as possible for the flavours to mellow. A great starter for 2.

    Absolutely delicious however I used about 550 of salmon as 300 too little. Loved the salad! We had ours with some wedges.
