Spicy Thai Salmon Cakes Recipes

THAI SALMON CAKES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Place the salmon on a baking sheet and cook for 10-15 minutes until the salmon is cooked through.
• When the salmon is cool flake with a fork and set aside.
• Add green onions, egg, panko breadcrumbs, fish sauce, mayonnaise, sweet thai chili, ginger, garlic and flaked salmon to a large bowl. Mix until combined. Make sure not to over mix.
• Form into 1/2 inch patties.
• Heat 1 tablespoon of oil in a large skillet. Working in batches add the salmon cakes and cook until browned on both sides and crispy, 2-3 minutes per side.
• Serve immediately with sweet thai chili sauce for dipping and sesame seeds and green onions for garnish, if desired.

THAI-SPICED SALMON CAKES

Steps:

• Put the scallions, garlic, ginger, shallot, lime zest and juice, fish sauce, sugar, and 1/4 tsp. salt into the bowl of a food processor. Pulse to make a coarse paste. Add the egg, and process until blended, about 5 seconds.
• Put the fish and panko into the food processor bowl. Pulse in two short bursts, scrape down the bowl, and pulse once more; the salmon mixture should still be coarse. Transfer to a mixing bowl, and gently stir or fold by hand to combine, if necessary.
• Divide the salmon mixture into four portions, and handle lightly to form four patties, each one about 4 inches in diameter. Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium heat, and add enough oil to lightly coat. Cook the patties on each side until lightly browned and just cooked through, 6 minutes total, then serve.

SALMON CAKES WITH THAI BASIL YOGURT

Steps:

• Heat the oven to 450 degrees Fahrenheit/230 degrees Celsius and position a rack in the top third of the oven.
• Fill a large bowl with water. Peel the sunchokes, adding them to the water as you go to prevent discoloration. Cut them into 1 1/4-inch/3-centimeter chunks, then dry very well with a kitchen towel. Toss with 1 tablespoon oil and 1/2 teaspoon flaky salt (or 1/4 teaspoon fine salt) and spread out on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
• Roast sunchokes for 20 to 22 minutes, tossing them and rotating the pans halfway through, until golden brown and cooked through. Set aside to cool, then very roughly crush them.
• While the sunchokes are roasting, add the potatoes to a medium saucepan, cover with cold, well-salted water and bring to a simmer over medium-high heat. Once simmering, cook for 12 minutes, or until soft. Drain and set aside to cool for about 20 minutes.
• Add the remaining 1/4 cup/48 milliliters olive oil to a small saucepan over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the basil leaves and the wakame and fry for 1 minute, stirring a little until crisp. Strain, reserving the oil, and transfer the basil and wakame to a small plate lined with paper towels.
• Prepare the ginger and basil yogurt: Mix together all of the ingredients and set aside.
• Roughly crush the cooled potatoes (some lumps are fine) and add to a large bowl with the cooked sunchokes, ginger, green onions, garlic, lime zest, potato starch (flour), egg, chopped basil and a good pinch of salt. Finely chop half the crisp wakame and add to the bowl. Mix everything together well, then add the salmon and gently mix to combine, trying not to break the salmon pieces too much.
• With lightly oiled hands, form the mixture into 8 cakes, pressing them so they hold together.
• Add half the butter and 1 tablespoon reserved oil to a large nonstick frying pan over high heat. Once hot, lower the heat to medium-high and fry half the fish cakes for 2 to 3 minutes per side, until crisp and golden brown on both sides. Remove from pan and then fry the remaining fish cakes in the same way with the remaining butter and 1 tablespoon of the remaining oil.
• Divide the cakes between four plates and spoon some of the yogurt on each plate. Top the yogurt with the crisp wakame and Thai basil and serve with lime wedges alongside. (To serve as an appetizer, arrange cakes on a platter with the yogurt in a bowl alongside.)

THAI TASTE'S THAI FISH CAKES

Steps:

• Place the fish chunks, spring onions, chilli, curry paste, coriander, palm sugar, fish sauce, lime juice and a pinch of salt in a food processor and blend until finely minced.
• Transfer to a bowl and stir in the sliced green beans.
• Divide the mixture into 16 pieces, roll each one into a ball and then flatten into discs.
• Transfer the fish cakes to a plate, cover with cling film and place in the fridge for 30 minutes to 1 hour to firm up
• Heat the oil in a large frying pan and when very hot fry the fish cakes for about 1-2 minute each side, until golden brown and cooked through. Lift out and drain on kitchen paper, then serve with a selection of dipping sauces and a wedge of lime. Garnish with spring onions.

SPICY THAI SALMON CAKES

Steps:

• Combine everything but salmon in food processor and process until smooth.
• Mix in salmon and cilantro.
• Shape into patties about 3 inch diameter and 1/2 inch thick (wet hands help).
• Dust patties with cornstarch on both sides.
• If freezing,,, freeze on sheets, then vacuum pack, and store in freezer.
• To cook, defrost if frozen. Skillet fry in about 1/3 inch of moderately hot oil until each side is just done and golden brown (2-3 minutes each side). Drain on paper towels.
• Quite nice served with Thai Sweet Chili Sauce on top (also posted to recipezaar).

SPICY SALMON MAKI

Steps:

• Rinse rice in a strainer under cold running water until water runs clear. Combine rice and water in a saucepan. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, reduce heat to low, cover, and cook for 20 minutes. Remove from heat.
• Meanwhile, combine rice wine vinegar, sugar, and salt in a small saucepan. Cook over medium heat until sugar dissolves. Remove and allow to cool. Stir vinegar mixture into the cooked rice - rice will dry as it cools. Allow rice to cool completely, about 30 minutes.
• Place a sheet of nori onto a sushi mat. Place about 1/2 cup rice on top and, using a rice paddle, spread rice onto the nori sheet.
• Flip nori over so rice is facing down. Arrange 3 to 4 avocado slices, about 2 ounces salmon, 1 strip green onion, and 2 teaspoons Sriracha mayonnaise down the middle of the nori sheet.
• Carefully, but tightly, roll nori up by closing in on the ingredients to form a roll. Drizzle each roll with hoisin sauce and more Sriracha mayonnaise and sprinkle with both types of sesame seeds.
• Slice each sushi roll into 8 pieces. Serve with a dollop of wasabi and pickled ginger on the side.
