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.

    Spectacular! I used green onion tops instead of coriander and made sandwiches with cucumber raita. Simple, fresh, and will definitely make again.

    Served these on a bed of warm couscous with a green salad tossed in balsamic vinegar. Super Supper :o) I halfed the recipe and made four small burgers for two people and was a generous meal.

    These are AMAZING! I made the mixture the night before and had reservations that it was too moist to bind but they came together and fried really well. I was also afraid that they wouldn't be enough for a main course but they're perfectly filling! Can't wait to make again & try with sweet chilli sauce.

    Really tasty -- very easy to half the recipe for two. We had it with rice and sweet chilli / low fat creme fraiche dip. Don't be scared by a wet looking mixture -- it stuck together really well!

    lovely tasty burgers, not so keen on the salad, grated the carrot and cucumber (missing the wet middle), added tomato and green salad and tossed in the dressing - much better for us.

    This recipe tasted amazing, have e-mailed to my mum! This time I served with potatoe wedges and it went great. Recommend sweet chilli dipping sauce with these fish cakes.

    Very tasteful. It has a oriental taste. So if you want to combine it with vegetables, choose a veggie curry.

    Really enjoyed this. Served with Thai rice and sweetcorn and peas. Mine didn't look as pretty as the picture, although that maybe becuase I used dark soy sauce as that's all I had in the cupboard. Tasted great though and I was surprised how well they held together.

    We just had these for dinner with a crispy noodle and pak choy salad. Delicious!! I added slightly more soy that the recipe suggested (about an extra teaspoon) and on my fishmonger's recommendation I used trout instead as it was cheaper and she said would give the patties a sweetness.

    Loved them. Although I used panang curry paste. If you too are going to try doing this, halve the amount you add. They were hot, hot, hot!!!
