Sagely is a tool to help you avoid allergens, not a guarantee, and it can miss them. You decide what goes in your food, so always check the ingredients and packaging yourself.
Ingredients
- 1 stick of lemongrass
- 6 cm piece of ginger
- ⅓ bunch of fresh coriander (15g)
- 500 g salmon fillets, skin off, pin-boned
- 4 tsp chilli jam
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- sea salt and black pepper, to season
Method
Prepare the mix
Whack the lemongrass against your work surface and remove the tough outer layer. Peel the ginger, then very finely chop with the inside of the lemongrass and most of the coriander, stalks and all, reserving a few nice leaves in a bowl of cold water.
Chop the salmon into 1cm chunks over the mix on your board, then push half the salmon to one side. Chop the rest until super-fine, almost like a purée, then mix the chunkier bits back through it and season with sea salt and black pepper.
Divide into 4, then shape and squash into 2cm-thick patties.
Cook & serve
Place a large non-stick frying pan on a medium-high heat with 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Cook the patties for 2 minutes on each side, or until nicely golden.
Spoon the chilli jam over the fishcakes, add a splash of water to the pan, turn the heat off, and jiggle to coat. Serve sprinkled with the drained coriander.
