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.

    Delicious! Added some chopped spring onion and fresh chillies to the fishcake mix and served with coriander rice and greens. Definitely will be making this one again!

    I have made these fishcakes so many times. I often make them up the night before or in the morning before i go to work so i can just cook them when i get home. I make a chilli dip with Sweet Chilli dipping sauce and creme fraiche to serve with them, which compliments the fishcakes nicely. My children love them to and i find that if you buy the basics salmon off cuts from sainsbury's etc, it can be a cheap family meal.

    was really looking forward to eating these as they looked great but not for me - texture was dry and heavy.

    really yummy, quick and easy to make, used green thai curry paste which worked really well. No need to add oil in the pan to fry if using a non stick pan because lots of natural oils from the fish

    This was delicious. I have kept the salad in a bowl od water with ice for about 4 hours before adding the vinegard and sugar so that the strips would stay crunchy. I also marinated the chopped salmon in the soy sauce, ginger and curry paste for 30 mins before tipping the mixture in the blender - I used green curry paste instead of red because I had an open jar, so it wasn't very spicy but I thought for a light lunch that would do just fine. And it did! Boyfriend absolutely loved it and asked me to make it as a starter to our next dinner party.

    So good and easy! I ate them with sweet chilli dip, and used japanese rice which I seasoned with star anise. The boyfriend loves chilli so was literally drooling!

    These were delicious. I dusted in a little flour before frying in a couple of tablespoons of oil which gave them a lovely crisp outside.

    Delicious! Very easy to make, was surprised how easily they stayed together as a burger. Cooked for approx 6-7 mins each side as ours were rather chunky, gave a nice crispy outside. Served with thai rice and stir fry veg but will try salad next time. Highly recommended and will definitely be making again very soon.
