Ingredients
- 400 g Salmon fillet (skinless)
- 150 g Fresh pineapple (finely diced)
- 2 tbsp Red curry paste
- 1.5 tbsp Fish sauce
- 1 tbsp Lime juice
- 100 g Breadcrumbs
- 2 tbsp Fresh cilantro (chopped)
- 1 large Egg
- 4 tbsp Vegetable oil (for frying)
- 0.5 tsp Salt
- 0.25 tsp Black pepper (freshly ground)
- 0 Sweet chili sauce (for serving)
- 0 Lime wedges (for garnish)
Directions
Step 1
Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F). Wrap the salmon fillet in aluminum foil and bake for 12-15 minutes until fully cooked. Let it cool before flaking it with a fork.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, combine the flaked salmon, finely diced pineapple, red curry paste, fish sauce, lime juice, breadcrumbs, chopped cilantro, and salt and pepper. Mix everything thoroughly.
Step 3
Beat the egg in a small bowl and add it to the mixture. Mix well until the ingredients hold together when shaped into a ball.
Step 4
Using your hands, form the mixture into small fish cakes, about 2 inches in diameter. You should get around 10-12 fish cakes.
Step 5
Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Fry the fish cakes in batches for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and crispy.
Step 6
Remove the fish cakes from the skillet and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess oil.
Step 7
Serve the fish cakes warm with sweet chili sauce on the side and lime wedges for garnish.
