Cooking Steps

Soften the Sweet Potato
1
  • Boil a large pot of salted water.
  • Add the salmon and simmer until cooked through, 4-5 mins. IMPORTANT: Wash hands and equipment after handling raw fish. Fish is cooked when opaque in the middle.
  • Meanwhile, cut the sweet potato into 2cm chunks (peeling optional).
  • Once cooked, remove the salmon from the pot. Add the potatoes to the boiling water and cook until fork tender, 15-20 mins. 
  • Remove the skin from the fish then cut into cubes.

NOTE: Swapping to basa? Follow the recipe as written, replacing 'salmon' with 'basa'.

Prep the Veg
2
  • While the sweet potato cooks, peel and grate the garlic (or use a garlic press). 
  • Trim the carrot then coarsely grate (no need to peel). 
  • Remove the core from the cabbage. Halve then thinly slice.
Form the Fish Cakes
3
  • Once the sweet potato is cooked, drain in a colander and return to the pot, off the heat.
  • Mash the salmon and sweet potato together until smooth. 
  • Add the garlic, Thai spice mix and breadcrumbs to the mash (add a teaspoon of flour if the mixture is too wet).
  • Season with ½ tsp salt (per 2P) and ½ tsp pepper (per 2P).
  • Mix until everything is combined. Roll into evenly-sized balls then shape into 2cm thick patties, two per person.
Fry the Fish Cakes
4
  • Place a large pan over medium-high heat with a drizzle of oil.
  • Once hot, fry the fish cakes on one side until golden, 4-5 mins.
  • Turn over and cook on the other side for a further 4-5 mins.
Dress the Slaw
5
  • Meanwhile, in a large bowl for the salad, mix together the aioli, a pinch of salt and pepper and a drizzle of oil.
  • Just before serving, toss the grated carrot and cabbage through the dressing.
  • Season to taste with salt and pepper.
Finish and Serve
6
  • Divide the tasty Thai fish cakes between plates and serve with the sweet chilli sauce for dipping.
  • Plate the crunchy slaw alongside.
