There's something fishy going on...

There are fish cakes like the little greasy, rubbery things they serve you at thai restaurants.... Then there are THESE fish cakes! Here is a recipe I made up the other night for these tasty morsels of joy.

FISH DE-LISH CAKES

*Chop up a zucchini, a small sweet potato and ½ a cauliflower and steam until tender.

*Drain away the water and mash vegies together.

*Drain a 375g tin of pink salmon and empty into a separate bowl. Mash together with a fork til all the little bones are broken down. Sounds creepy but this is where all the calcium comes from.

*Add a teaspoon of chilli paste, one egg, a tablespoon of thai curry paste, a tablespoon of finely sliced coriander leaves and stir together.

*Combine the mashed vegies with the salmon mix.

*Get a bit of a production line going: form little balls about the size of a golf ball with the mix, roll in rice or spelt flour that you’ve poured into a bowl and drop into a fry pan on medium heat that is about ½ a cm deep with olive or coconut oil.

*Press down on them with an egg flipper and flip them over when the first side is golden.

*Lay them out on some paper towel to soak up the excess oil and serve with a fresh salad.

Ta-da! The recipe makes up about 18 patties. I made up a little dipping sauce out of sweet chilli, a squeeze of fresh lime and some more coriander.

Yummy cold the next day for lunch.

P.S. I like the picture because:

1. The fish is smiling

and 2. The chef kind of looks like my Dad :)
