Ingredients
  

  • 1 stick lemongrass
  • 6 cm piece of ginger
  • 0.5 bunch fresh coriander
  • 500 grams salmon fillets
  • 4 tsp chilli jam

Instructions
 

  • Whack the lemongrass against your work surface and remove the tough outer layer.
  • Peel the ginger, then very finely chop with the inside of the lemongrass and most of the coriander, stalks and all, reserving a few nice leaves in a bowl of cold water.
  • Chop the salmon into 1cm chunks over the mix on your board, then push half the salmon to one side.
  • Chop the rest until super-fine, almost like a purée, then mix the chunkier bits back through it and season with sea salt and black pepper.
  • Divide into 4, then shape and squash into 2cm-thick patties.
  • Place a large non-stick frying pan on a medium-high heat with 1 tablespoon of olive oil.
  • Cook the patties for 2 minutes on each side, or until nicely golden.
  • Spoon the chilli jam over the fishcakes, add a splash of water to the pan, turn the heat off, and jiggle to coat.
  • Serve sprinkled with the drained coriander.
