Fresh Salmon And Lime Cakes

Recipe #62967 | 20 min | 10 min prep | 20 Small Cakes (Change Servings)

RECIPE BY: KitchenManiac

A excellent fish cake, very similar to the prawn cake I have posted, but of course not as high in cholestrol. You can also try grilling it..if you are concerned about adding on the pounds. Still taste good. I have also tried making them bigger, so that they are like a salmon pattie, and eating it as a burger. YUMMY! If you want to add a little heat to the cake, chop up some spicy hot red chilli and add it to the salmon mixture. From Donna Hay's Cookbook titled "flavours"

    Yummy is the word. I made these burger sized, and got 5, even though I was a bit skimpy with the salmon. I did use a whole egg as I never know what to do with an orphan egg part. The kaffir lime adds a lovely fragrant, floral quality to the patties. I used wasabi from a tube, and that was a mistake as it practically disappeared in the cooking. I served a little on the side and it went wonderfully well with the kaffir lime and ginger flavours. As patties, they took 3 or 4 minutes to cook on each side. These would be excellent with pickled ginger.

    These are totally delicious! I loved the ginger and lime flavours. I used canned salmon and lime zest as I didn't have the kaffir leaves.I made them a bit bigger and cooked in a non-stick pan with just a spray of oil. I served on top of a mound of mixed vegetables and poured the dressing over the top. It turned out fantastic. Thanks!

    Wow - these are great! I also used canned salmon, as no wild salmon was available. I substituted lime zest (about 1 TBS) for the kaffir lime leaves as well. We shallow-fried this time: If you do this, I recommend adding another egg white, and making sure the oil is very hot before you begin. Also, wear a long-sleeve shirt and oven mits as the hot oil splatters a bit. We will definitely make these again, trying just a spray of oil as Dale suggested. Thanks!
