These fresh salmon cakes with lime, ginger, and herbs offer a healthy and flavorful twist on traditional fish cakes. The salmon gives them a rich source of omega-3 fatty acids and protein, while the lime and ginger add a burst of flavor and a dose of vitamins. They are easy to make and can be served as a party appetizer or a main meal. They can be paired with a side salad or steamed vegetables to create a balanced meal. These salmon cakes are perfect for anyone looking to expand their culinary horizons and incorporate more seafood into their diet.

Instructions

1.Peel the potatoes and cut them into large chunks. Boil them in salted water for 20-25 minutes, until tender.
2.Drain the potatoes and transfer them to a large bowl. Mash them with a potato masher or fork.
3.Cut the salmon into bite-sized pieces. In a separate bowl, mix together the salmon, garlic, coriander, shallots/green onions, beaten egg, grated ginger, grated lime rind, and a pinch of salt.
4.Add the salmon mixture to the mashed potatoes and mix together gently until well combined.
5.Line a baking tray with baking paper. Shape the salmon mixture into small patties, each about 2-3cm thick and 7cm in diameter.
6.In separate shallow bowls, place the breadcrumbs and flour. In a third bowl, whisk together the extra beaten egg and milk. Dip each salmon patty first in the flour, then in the egg mixture, and finally in the breadcrumbs, ensuring the patty is coated evenly.
7.Heat enough olive oil in a large frying pan over medium-high heat to shallow fry the salmon patties, in batches, for approximately 2-3 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown and cooked through. Drain on a paper towel before serving.
