Coriander Fish Cakes Recipes

LIME AND CORIANDER FISH CAKES

Steps:

• Put potatoes into a large pan, cover with cold water and bring to the boil. Reduce heat and simmer for 10-13min, until tender. Drain thoroughly and leave to steam dry in a colander for 5min. Return potatoes to pan, mash with plenty of seasoning, until smooth. Set aside to cool slightly.
• Meanwhile, put the salmon in a medium pan with 400ml water. Bring to the boil over medium heat, then reduce to a gentle simmer and cook for 4-5min, until fish is opaque and just cooked. Carefully remove with a slotted spoon to a plate lined with kitchen paper. When cool enough to handle, flake into large chunks, discarding skin (if present).
• Add flaked salmon, prawns, spring onions, coriander, sweet chilli sauce, lime zest, juice and plenty of seasoning to the mashed potato. Stir very gently until just combined, avoiding breaking up the salmon too much. Shape into 8 even patties.
• Mix breadcrumbs and coconut in a shallow bowl, then put flour and eggs into 2 separate bowls. Coat each fishcake in flour (tap off excess), then egg and breadcrumb mixture. Put on baking tray lined with baking parchment and chill for at least 30min.
• Heat a thin layer of oil in a large frying pan over medium-high heat and fry the fishcakes for 3-4min per side (in batches if necessary), or until nicely golden. Drain on a plate lined with kitchen paper and keep warm while you fry the second batch.
• Serve with lime wedges and a green salad, if you like.

CORIANDER FISH CAKES

Steps:

• Put the cooked flaked fish into a bowl and add half of the breadcrumbs, mayonnaise, beaten egg, coriander, cayenne and salt.
• Mix everything lightly together and roll into 12 small balls, flatten slightly and then leave to stand for at least 10 minutes.
• Mix the sesame seeds with the remaining breadcrumbs.
• Brush the fish cakes lightly with milk and dip into the breadcrumb mixture.
• Melt the butter in a frying pan with the olive oil and cook the fish cakes for about 2 minutes on each side until golden and warmed through.
• Serve on a bed of salad leaves with sweet chilli sauce on the side.

SALMON, SWEET POTATO & CORIANDER FISHCAKES WITH TAHINI DRESSING

Steps:

• Peel the sweet potato and cut into rough chunks, then put in a microwaveable bowl with a splash of water. Cover with cling film, then cook on high for 8 mins. Alternatively, you can cook these on a hob for 10 minutes. Meanwhile, whisk the tahini with the lemon juice and enough water to make a thick dressing. Season and set aside.
• Carefully remove the cling film from the sweet potato, then blitz in a food processor until mashed but not pureed. Leave to cool for 5 mins, then add the coriander and coriander seeds. Blitz to a herby mash, (be careful not to over blitz as you still want some texture) and transfer to a mixing bowl. Then add the salmon, lemon zest, flour and some seasoning. Pulse again - you want the salmon to be roughly mixed in, rather than obliterated to mush.
• In a small bowl add the remaing flour and shape into four fishcakes, dipping into the flour to fully coat. Pop on a plate and press them down lightly to create patties. Chill in the fridge for 30 minutes. Add the remaining tbsp of olive to a large non-stick frying pan over a medium heat. Add the fishcakes and fry for 5 mins on each side until crisp and golden. Serve with the lemon wedges, tahini dressing and salad.
