Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 g salmon fillet (skinless and boneless)
- 2 tablespoons red curry paste
- 1 tablespoon fish sauce
- 1 tablespoon lime juice
- 2 pieces garlic cloves (minced)
- 1 teaspoon ginger (grated)
- 2 tablespoons cilantro leaves (chopped)
- 2 pieces green onions (chopped)
- 1 large egg
- 75 g panko breadcrumbs
- 3 tablespoons vegetable oil (for frying)
Instructions
Cut the salmon into chunks and place them in a food processor.
Add red curry paste, fish sauce, lime juice, minced garlic, grated ginger, cilantro, and green onions to the food processor.
Pulse until the mixture becomes a coarse paste. Do not over-blend; the mixture should still have some texture.
Transfer the mixture to a bowl and mix in the egg and panko breadcrumbs until well combined.
Using slightly wet hands, form the mixture into patties, about 2.5 inches in diameter and 1/2 inch thick. You should get around 8 patties.
Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Fry the patties in batches, about 3-4 minutes per side, or until they are golden brown and cooked through.
Place the cooked patties on a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess oil.
Serve the fish cakes warm with a side of sweet chili sauce or a simple lime-dipping sauce.
