8.8g sugar
0.4g salt

Ingredients

500g skinned salmon fillet
4cm piece ginger, very finely chopped
4 spring onions, finely chopped
1 tsp sunflower oil

For the salad

1 medium-hot red chilli, deseeded and finely chopped
2 tsp caster sugar
1 tsp Thai fish sauce
1 tbsp lime juice
1 tbsp rice vinegar
1/2 cucumber
1 small yellow pepper, deseeded and cut into long, thin strips
1 small carrot, cut into thin strips
12 cherry tomatoes, halved
Bunch of fresh coriander, leaves picked

Method: How to make salmon and ginger fishcakes

1. Put the chilli, sugar, fish sauce, lime juice and vinegar into a screw-top jar and shake well. Set aside. Halve the cucumber, then slice each piece into long, thin strips. Toss the cucumber, pepper, carrot and tomatoes together in a bowl.

2. Chop the salmon until you have a coarse, mince-like mixture. Put into another bowl with the ginger and onions. Season. Mix together and divide into 8. Using slightly wet hands, shape into 8 fishcakes.

3. Heat the oil in a large, non-stick frying pan over a medium heat. Cook the fishcakes for 11/2 minutes each side, until lightly golden and cooked.

4. Toss the dressing and coriander leaves through the salad. Divide between 4 plates and top each with 2 fishcakes.

..extremely yummy!! absolutely gorgeous although as mentioned above I also found they just did not hold together!! I used some wholemeal flour which worked fine and didnt affect the flavour or texture!!

This is lovely and the flavours in the salad go wonderfully with the salmon. The only thing is, if you are going for presentation the salmon fishcakes dont bind that well but this aside the dish is delicious.
