Ingredients
 
 

  • 420 g salmon fillets - skin removed
  • Thumbnail-size piece of ginger, grated
  • 1 lime, zest and juice - plus wedges to serve if desired
  • 1/2 bunch spring onions finely chopped or 1 small red onion finely chopped - or 'whizzed' up because I have an onion disliker!

Instructions
 

  • Chop salmon as finely as possible, then add the grated ginger, lime zest and some ground pepper
  • Soften the onion in a little oil in a frying pan over a low heat (I generally add a table spoon of water and put a lid over the top for approx 5 mins to make sure it is nice and soft)
  • Add softened onion to the salmon mix and mould into 'patties'
  • Fry the fish cakes in a little oil until golden and cooked through (about 10 mins)
  • Serve with mayo or ketchup, vegetables and home-made potato wedges, mash or polenta chips (recipe will go up at some point!)
