Method

  1. Tip the salmon into a food processor with the paste, ginger, soy and chopped coriander. Pulse until roughly minced. Tip out the mix and shape into 4 burgers. Heat the oil in a non-stick frying pan, then fry the burgers for 4-5 mins on each side, turning until crisp and cooked through.
  2. Meanwhile, use a swivel peeler to peel strips of carrot and cucumber into a bowl. Toss with the vinegar and sugar until the sugar has dissolved, then toss through the coriander leaves. Divide the salad between 4 plates. Serve with the burgers and rice.

Tip

Oily fish makes a heart-healthy alternative to red meat burgers. This recipe would also be delicious with tuna steaks.

Thai salmon skewers

Mix the curry paste, ginger, soy and oil with 1 tsp honey and seasoning. Marinate the salmon chunks in the curry mixture for 10 mins. Cut 1 red pepper and 1 courgette into chunks, then thread onto skewers with the salmon. Griddle for 8 mins, turning, until the salmon is cooked through.

    I made mistake in adding oil to the pan, i should not have, the salmom relased so much oil. The burgers were delicious, we only had them with green salad a tomatoes but would try with either noodles or rice next time! 5 stars...

    Love these fishcakes - very, very tasty and easy to do. The size/thickness was perfect for us. Would also go well with thai style rice or stir-fry veg.

    Was surprised how wet these were, especially after all the other comments of how well they held together, plus I put them in the fridge for a couple of hours before cooking & they did not stay together terribly well. That being said, loved the flavours with the salad and sweet chilli sauce, will be probably try again and add some breadcrumbs.

    I thought the cooked product was too dry and very heavy. On the other hand, the uncooked salmon combination was delicious and I will repeat that and serve as a form of tartare!

    I really liked how meaty these were but found them a bit dry and i couldnt really taste the ginger. Next time I think I will add more ginger and soy sauce and try them with a sweet chilli sauce.

    Wow! My son gave his 10/10 and he doesn't often compliment my cooking so positively. I didnt add oil to the pan but just made sure I used a good non stick one. Served with sweet chilli sauce. Amazing as a main or starter depending ob how many you serve. Yum

    these are so easy to make, and i found that 3 salmon fillets made 5 generous sized burgers. i definitely thought the mixture was going to fall apart on frying but was pleasantly surprised to see that they stayed firmly together. highly recommended!!

    I don't like salmon but this was delicious! Slicing the cucumber and carrot was a faff! I made some for the children, but left out the curry paste. Clean plates all round,

    Have made these gorgeous burgers many, many times now. I must admit that I put them in burger baps and serve them with chips and peas/sweetcorn. Not quite so healthy, maybe, but very nice!

    I just love this so much! Don't make that weird salad because it's not my cup of tea, so usually serve with thai steamed rice and stir fried broccoli. I also add chilli and sometimes spring onions if they are in the fridge. Delicious!

    These were great, i didn't have the exct ingredients - i substituted the thai paste for normal curry paste, added an egg and used olive oil instead to make them healthier. They were very very tasty and meaty my boyfriend who turns his nose up at healthy food, was very jealous!

    Didn't have any curry paste so we used festive cranberry chutney. Whole family loved them and everyone wanted seconds! Would make these again. :)

    Followed the recipe to a tee and served with chili sauce. Yummy and filling. When making again, I would add more soy sauce in order to give a stronger counterpoint to the hot curry paste.
