1. In a food processor, whizz the bread to fine crumbs. Set aside, then whizz the salmon. Add the crumbs and egg white, then pulse to combine. Season. Divide into 12 balls and chill for 30 mins. Can be frozen at this stage for up to 1 month.
2. Heat oven to 200C/fan 180C/gas 6. Heat the oil in a non-stick frying pan. Add the fishballs and fry for 1-2 mins until lightly browned. Transfer to a baking tray, bake for 15 mins until golden.
3. Wipe the pan, add korma paste and onion, and cook for 5 mins, stirring regularly. Add peppers and cook for 2 mins. Add passata and lentils, bring to the boil, then simmer for 20 mins. Coat fishballs in the gravy and serve.

'We loved the spicy lentil gravy. Sophie, mum and enjoyed the fishballs. Emily and Charlotte want to try the gravy again, but next time with meatballs.'

  This is delicious. The fish balls have a lovely texture and lentils really add something to the sauce. I used red thai curry paste instead of korma paste - it woked really well and gave a hotter flavourful sauce.

  Really enjoyed this and will definately be making it again, though next time will make the fish balls bite sized.

  Really lovely. I had to add water to the sauce as it cooked because it went a bit dry. I will cook it covered in future. I would recommend a decent paste such as Pataks, i used Asda's own the first time i cooked this and it was a bit weedy and the over riding taste was passata. I didn't bake the fish balls in the oven, just fried them and then added the sauce to the pan and allowed to simmer for ten minutes

  This is a staple on our weekly menu! My daughter loves it. The sauce is delicious and is of course full of protein. It is pretty cheap to make too!
