Ingredients
Scale
For the salmon cakes
- 500 g / 1 lb salmon fillets or steaks (boneless and skinless, I defrosted from frozen)
- 1 medium tinned or vacuum sealed, cooked beet, grated
- 2 cloves of garlic, crushed or grated
- 1 spring onion/scallion, diced
- Zest of 1/2 lemon
- Juice of 1/2 lemon
- 1 teaspoon cumin powder
- 1 teaspoon coriander seed powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon pepper
- 1/4 teaspoon chilli flakes (optional)
- 1/4 cup tapioca or cassava flour (almond meal is also fine)
- 2 tablespoons coconut flour
- Coconut oil for cooking
Kohlrabi & beetroot slaw
- 1 large kohlrabi, peeled, cut into two halves and sliced into matchsticks
- 1 large carrot, cut into matchsticks
- 1 pointy red pepper, cut into two halves and sliced into thin strips
- 2 vacuum sealed or tinned beats, sliced into thin strips
- 1 long spring onion/scallion, chopped
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- Juice of 1/2 lemon
- 1/3 cup mayonnaise
- 1/4 teaspoon salt and pepper (or to taste)
- Micro herbs or other herbs for garnish
- To serve: sliced avocado, pickled red onions and mayonnaise
Instructions
- Use a food processor to grind the salmon into mince. Transfer to a mixing bowl and add the rest of the cake ingredients. Mix through really well.
- Shape into medium patties and set aside on a plate.
- For baking, preheat the oven to 200 C/400 F. Place the patties on top of a sheet of baking paper greased lightly with coconut or olive oil. Bake in the oven for 15 minutes. Then, remove the tray and brush the tops of the burgers with a little oil. Pop under a hot grill/broil for 3-4 minutes to brown up.
- Alternatively, pan-fry for 3-4minutes on each side over medium-high heat. I used a little coconut oil for cooking but olive oil is also fine. Pan-frying method results in more pink salmon cakes.
- To make the slaw, simply mix all the salad ingredients together and set aside until serving. Plate the burger patties with sliced avocado, slaw salad, a dollop of mayo and pickled onions or gherkins.
