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.

    Wonderful idea, love all the flavors together! My only problem is I used a new blender and within half a second the meat had been pulverised to a smooth paste which didn't hold on together at all when I ut it on the pan but even the crumbles of salmons tasted delicious!

    Probably best new recipe i've tried this year. So simple to make and ready in no time at all and very tasty. I served mine with with watercress (with a dressing of 2 tsp Balsamic Vinegar & 1 tbls Olive Oil) My duaghter will not eat fish as she doesn't like the texture but loved this as it has a texture of a burger

    One tip - Use a decent non-stick frying pan. As lovely as these were my fish cakes suck to my frying pan and crumbled apart. I made my own sweet chill dip: Thumb size of Ginger chopped 2-3 Garlic cloves 3 red chilli's tbsp fish sauce tbsp soy sauce 5tbsp caster sugar Melt sugar in pan with a spalsh of water, when all dissolved blend the ginger, garlic, chilli to a paste and add to pan then add fish and soy sauce and bring to a simmer, remove pan from heat then spoon out sauce into ramekins and leave to cool and chill in fridge until ready to use.

    I have just had these for lunch and I loved them, I am doing a Thai themed night on Sunday for friends. I will do these as a starter followed by chicken green curry and to finish, sticky rice with banana fritters. I can see then becoming a favorite

    The flavours here are absolutely delish! we didn't have any paste so we used fresh lemongrass and chillies instead, and it was still yummy.

    Really, really quick and easy to make, and held together a lot better than I expected them to! Tasted great aswell, infact I enjoyed them a lot more than the usual fish and potato cakes I normally make, these were much lighter and flavoursome. I served it with the salad, noodles and chilli dipping sauce. Made a nice change from boring old salmon fillets, will definitely make again!

    I was very disappointed with this recipe. I didn't like the taste or the texture, maybe i would have enjoyed it more with a little potato in the mixture. Either way, i won't be making it again to find out.
