This recipe is basically an east/west fusion, blended with thai herbs and flavours. If you are a little intimidated by the mango salsa because of the taste, I reassure you, you are going to love it! [ Just like my mother who was really reluctant to taste the mango salsa, I must say, she ended up eating everything, the dish was tip top clean!]
So let's get started!
Happy Cooking!
Equipment:
- Hand blender (you can use your regular blender)
- Kitchen Scale
Ingredients:

2. Mango Salsa/Dressing
- 1 Mango
- Juice and zest of 3 limes
- 1 clove of garlic, crushed
- 1 red chilli, deseeded, and chopped
- Handful of fresh coriander

Method:
- Place the mashed potato, chopped coriander, spring onions, 1 beaten egg and flaked salmon in a small bowl. With the help of a fork mix well until bound together.
- Shape into cakes and chill until firm.
- Dip each cake in flour, then into remaining beaten egg and finally in the breadcrumbs.
- Heat vegetable oil in frying pan.
- Gently fry fish cakes on each side for about 2-3 minutes until golden brown.
Mango Salsa/Dressing:
- Peel and stone the mango.

- Blend together until creamy.
- Add the chopped coriander and blend briefly to incorporate.
- Pour into serving bowl and throw in the other half diced mango.
Happy Snack-ing!
Note:
- Like I said, I had only some salmon leftover, about 100g, so I halved the recipe which worked fine for me.
- The chilling time for me took about 30-45 minutes, and in the meanwhile I made the mango salsa.
