Ingredients

  • 250g skinless salmon fillets
  • 1 tbsp Thai red curry paste
  • small handful of coriander, roughly chopped
  • ½ tbsp fish sauce
  • ½ lime, juiced
  • 1 lemongrass stalk (tough outer leaves removed), chopped
  • 3 spring onions, roughly chopped, plus extra to serve
  • 1 egg
  • 5 tbsp plain flour
  • 50g green beans, finely chopped
  • 75g panko breadcrumbs
  • 2 tbsp sriracha
  • 5 tbsp mayonnaise
  • ½ lime, juiced, plus extra wedges to serve

Method

  1. Cut the salmon into chunks and blitz in a food processor with the curry paste, coriander, fish sauce, lime juice, lemongrass, spring onion and egg until finely chopped (but not a paste). Tip into a bowl.

  2. Mix through the flour and green beans until combined – it will be a little wet. Form into small patties and chill for 30 mins. Tip the breadcrumbs onto a plate, then coat the fishcakes in the breadcrumbs.

  3. Heat the air-fryer to 180C and cook for 15-20 mins, checking halfway. They should be cooked through and golden. Mix the ingredients for the sriracha mayo in a small bowl and serve alongside the fishcakes with extra lime wedges, and spring onions sprinkled over.
