• Recipe: Thai-Spiced Salmon Cakes

  

  Mmmmm.... I love fish and sea food, and one of my favorite fish dishes are Thai salmon fish cakes! They're so simple and absolutley delicious. They can be served with whatever you wish.
  

  My favorite way to serve them is with a nice salad matchstick potatoes and yummy yellow or red sweet chili sauce. *drools over her keyboard*
  

  I though I would share this recipe with you.
  

  You will need:

  • 60g Salmon
  • 5g Root Ginger
  • 1 Clove of Garlic
  • 2 tspn Nam Pla (fish sauce)
  • 1 tbspn of chopped corriander
  • 1 chilli
  • 1 stick of lemon grass (prepared by removing the skin and tip)
  • squeeze of halfa lime
  • enough vegetable oil to shallow fry.
  • Wedge of lime to serve.

   You know, I told you this is simple, and it really is. Gather one's ingredients like so...
  

  
  
  

  Then grind them all up. I just stuck mine in my veggie chopper because I quite like little chunky bits. (No, I'm not being lazy this time. I genuinely like texture.)
  
  

  
  

  
  I added my coriander right towards the end – looks greener! Like so...
  

  
  

  

  I then did the same with my salmon and pulsed it a few times until it was kinda minced but still chunky, because otherwise it will go to sloppy and you wont be able to work with it. Make your cakes and fry on a medium heat; you don't want to obliterate the yummy salmon. Some recipes say coat your salmon cakes in corn flour. You can do this, but I prefer mine bare. I'll save the corn flour for something else.
  
  

  
  

  Mmmmm...
  

  
  

  
  

  
  Do you like salmon cakes?
