PK’s Easy Thai Fish Cakes

Fish cakes taste great and are an amazing way of making a little bit of fish go further. They were a staple growing up and one of the dishes, my mum cooked us, that will always stay with me :).

I never use a recipe and no two batches come out the same but that is half the fun.

Below I am doing a take on Thai fish cakes but I am just as likely to make them coated in breadcrumbs. Sometimes I keep the potatoes chunky, sometimes I mash everything well to give a smoother texture.

I just follow two basic rules in that I use a 1:1 ratio of fish to parboiled potatoes and I like to add colour by using finely minced fresh vegetables in the mix itself. If you find the cakes fall apart during cooking, try a bit more egg in the mix next time.

Parboil the potatoes:

Mash your fish (I am using canned John West Pink Salmon):

Prepare the vegetables (I am going for a Thai taste so I am using lime zest, shallots, coriander, garlic and some red capsicum for colour):

Whisk an egg or two and mix everything up (I did this gently as I wanted a chunky look):

Make small or large cakes, using your hands, as you please and then pop them in the fridge for a bit (just look at the colours, beautiful):

A quick shallow fry is all that is needed:
