Spicy Salmon And Sweet Potato Fishcakes Recipes

QUINOA-COATED SALMON & SWEET POTATO FISHCAKES

Steps:

• Wash the sweet potatoes, prick each of them a few times with a fork and cook them in the microwave for around 10 mins - the time varies depending on the size. Alternatively, bake in the oven at 180C/160C fan/gas 4 for about 45 mins. Scoop the flesh into a bowl. Reserve the skins to make crisps, if you like (see tip, below).
• Tip the quinoa into a saucepan and pour over 150ml boiling water, cover with a lid and simmer for about 15 mins until the water has been absorbed. Drain well, spread out on a plate and set aside.
• Drizzle a little oil in a frying pan over a medium heat, then fry the salmon fillets for a few minutes on each side. Tip into the bowl with the sweet potato, then add the chives. Mix well to break up the fish, and season to taste.
• Heat the oven to 180C/160C fan/gas 4. Form the mixture into eight equal-sized fishcakes. Dip each fishcake into the plate of quinoa and coat fully, pressing to help it stick. Brush with a little olive oil and place on a baking tray lined with baking parchment. Bake for about 15-20 mins until golden. Serve with the watercress and peas, and sweet potato crisps, if you like.

SPICY SALMON & CORIANDER FISH CAKES

Steps:

• Peel the potatoes and sweet potato and place in a large microwaveable bowl. Add the lemon juice and 1/4 of the chopped coriander, cover with cling film and microwave on full for 10 minutes / until cooked. (Add a little extra water if required).
• Whilst the potatoes are cooking, gently fry the onion, garlic, chilli, grated lemon zest & coriander in half the oil until the onions are translucent.
• Break up the bread and place in a food processor and blitz into breadcrumbs, adding the Paprika.
• Mash the potatoes adding the remaining olive oil and all of the butter.
• Stir the fried ingredients, remaining coriander, crumbled feta and egg into the mash. (Add salt and pepper to taste).
• Form cakes of your preferred size (If the mixture is too wet to easily form into cakes, add some of the breadcrumbs to improve consistency) and cover with breadcrumbs.
• Either fry gently for 5 minutes each side or place on a baking tray and bake on 180Cm, turning once, for 10-15 minutes (or until lightly browned).
