Cooking Steps
1
- Boil a large pot of salted water.
- Add the salmon and simmer until cooked through, 4-5 mins. IMPORTANT: Wash hands and equipment after handling raw fish. Fish is cooked when opaque in the middle.
- Meanwhile, cut the sweet potato into 2cm chunks (peeling optional).
- Once cooked, remove the salmon from the pot. Add the potatoes to the boiling water and cook until fork tender, 15-20 mins.
- Remove the skin from the fish then cut into cubes.
2
- While the sweet potato cooks, peel and grate the garlic (or use a garlic press).
- Trim the carrot then coarsely grate (no need to peel).
- Chop the tomatoes into 1cm pieces.
- Zest and then juice the lemon.
- To make your sweet chilli drizzle, mix together 1 tbsp sugar (double for 4p), lemon zest, lemon juice and chilli flakes (use less if you don't like spice). Season to taste with salt and pepper.
3
- Once the sweet potato is cooked, drain in a colander and return to the pot, off the heat.
- Mash the salmon and sweet potato together until smooth.
- Add the garlic, Thai spice mix and breadcrumbs to the mash (add a teaspoon of flour if the mixture is too wet).
- Season with ½ tsp salt and ½ tsp pepper (double both for 4p).
- Mix until everything is combined. Roll into evenly-sized balls then shape into 2cm thick patties, two per person.
4
- Place a large pan over medium-high heat with a drizzle of oil.
- Once hot, fry the fish cakes on one side until golden, 4-5 mins.
- Turn over and cook on the other side for a further 4-5 mins.
5
- Meanwhile, in a large bowl for the salad, mix together the mayo, a pinch of salt and pepper and 2 tbsp oil (double for 4p).
- Just before serving, toss the grated carrot, tomato and salad leaves through the dressing.
- Season to taste with salt and pepper.
6
- Divide the tasty Thai fish cakes between plates and serve with the sweet chilli drizzle.
- Plate the crunchy salad alongside.
