  2. Chop the salmon as finely as you can and place in a bowl with the ginger, lime zest and seasoning. Heat 1 tsp oil in a non-stick pan and soften the spring onions for 2 mins. Stir into the salmon, mix well and shape into 4 patties.
  3. Heat remaining oil in the pan and cook the patties for 3-4 mins each side until golden and cooked through. Cover with a lid and leave to rest for a few mins. Serve 2 patties each with the chips, mayo and lime wedges for squeezing.

    These were amazing. Definitely add more ginger. I also didn't pre-fry the spring onion and added some breadcrumbs to the outside to give it a bit more texture. Served with a side salad and some sweet chilli dipping sauce. Amazing.

    These fishcakes are delicious! I used extra ginger and added a de-seeded thai red chilli and they were perfect, not too spicy but just right. I sprinkled paprika over the sweet potato chips prior to cooking, they were lovely, I wish I'd made more! The fishcakes are not very big so would make a great light starter. I served mine with salad as well as the chips. I didn't have any wasabi paste so mixed sweet chilli sauce with mayonnaise and a little ketchup. It all worked well together. I will definitely be making them again, nice change to bunging salmon fillets in the oven as I usually do!

    Liked the idea of this recipe, as love ginger and lime combo. Added wee bit flour to bind mixture, but disappointed with results. Going to try the ginger and lime salmon recipe which marinades the salmon.

    These are absolutely delicious and feel very healthy as there is no potato or breadcrumbs. I added a thumb sized piece of ginger and chilli to give it a bit of a kick. Also coated them in a light sprinkling of flour and put them in the fridge before frying, helped them to hold together perfectly. We served with a sweet chilli and soy dipping sauce! Definitely a recipe to add to your collection!!!!

    These are delicious! Very easy to make too. I think next time I will make more sweet potato chips and a side salad to go with it.

    Awesome. Read the earlier posts and increased the levels of ginger by quite a bit and added chilli for the extra punch. A crowd favourite.

    I really did not like this recipe at all. You really do need to 'up' the amount of ginger and it needs something else added to give it some taste! I dusted the fishcakes in flour and rested them in the fridge and they did hold together a little but they need a 'binder' added. Also, when I put on the lid and left them to rest, they went soggy and I had to re-fry them. The sweet potato chips are tasty but the oven temperature needs to be higher in order to crisp them up a bit. - sorry to be so negative :(

    Adapted the measures for 5 people....Nice change from salmon in foil, make sure you're pushing tightly together when squashing them into your hands and turn them carefully in the pan so they don't fall apart, agree more ginger and lime and my chips were a bit soggy....i probably put a little too much oil in the tray and too much product piled on top of each other but i liked the taste of them and will have another go.
