These salmon and quinoa cakes cook in no time. I love them with cheats sweet and sour.

Salmon Quinoa Cakes

I love making these Salmon Quinoa Cakes. It’s probably the nicest way to eat quinoa that I know. Its disguised in these delicious Salmon Cakes that have a bit of an Asian flavoured twist.

If you have never seen Salmon mince or ground Salmon you are in for a treat.  I made a great Hoisin Salmon Ball soup with it not so long back too. ( picture and link below) the Salmon cooks and fuses together creating this absolutely perfect fish cake. Ask your local fish shop to get you some. It’s made with all the little bits of salmon taken from the tale and portions close to the bone. All this meat used to be wasted so you will be doing the local a favour too. It makes a great stuffing for whole fish or an unusual Larb (a Thai mince dish usually made with chicken or  Pork)

I am going to say these might be the easiest and tastiest fish cakes you are ever going to make. Don’t forget to make the quick and easy cheats Sweet and sour vegetables to go with them.

Ingredients
  

  • 360 gm quinoa cooked * (2 Aust cups) ******see notes below
  • 500 gm raw salmon mince or other fish minced in a food processor
  • 1 Tablespoon green curry paste
  • 1 Tablespoon ginger fresh grated
  • 1 teaspooon caster sugar white
  • 20 ml fish sauce 1 Tablespoon
  • 1/2 cup coriander clean well chopped leaves stems and roots of coriander
  • 1 whole Egg
  • 1 pinch salt

Optional Cheats Sweet and Sour vegetables

  • 250 gm snow peas
  • 150 gm carrot grated
  • 40 ml oil 2 tablespoons
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic crushed
  • 100 gm onion small sliced
  • 60 ml chicken stock 1/4 cup
  • 20 ml tomato sauce 1 Tablespoon ketchup
  • 20 ml sweet soy sauce Ketchup manis, 1 Tablespoon
  • 15 gm brown sugar 1 Tablespoon
  • 1/2 bunch coriander picked

Instructions
 

  • Add all of the fish cakes ingredients into a mixing bowl and mix well. The mixture will not be runny or too loose to hold the patties shape. If it is, add a small amount of breadcrumbs.
  • Shape the patties making them the size of hamburger patties. The mixture will easily make 6-8. Prepare a tray with draining paper. Prepare the ingredeints for the quick vegetable dish before you start frying the cakes
  • Heat a shallow fry pan with 1 cm of oil and fry till browned on one side , Flip. They will only take a couple of minutes each side. Do not cook too long. They will continue to cook while you make the vegetables.
  • Heat another medium fry pan over high heat. Add the oil and onion and toss for 1 minute then add the garlic and ginger. Sauté till fragrant then add the stock, tomato sauce, sugar, sweet soy, and a little salt. Stir well and when it starts to steam and come to the boil add the grated carrot and the snow peas and toss till warm and the peas are only just wilting. Take off the heat and serve. Add some chopped coriander.
  • Serve with rice or just by itself.

Notes

1 cup of raw quinoa weights 180 gm
1 cup of quinoa once cooked makes 2 and 3/4 cups of cooked quinoa. This recipe calls for 2 cups of cooked quinoa. That means 1 cup of raw.

If you like the idea of this try my Salmon Hoisin Meatballs in Asian broth. It makes an even quicker dinner. I am sure there are endless ways to use Salmon mince. Let me know if you come up with a few more.

    I love the look of those fish cakes. I wish I could buy pre-minced salmon! What a time saver. Love the look of the coconut jam too. Enjoy the trip.

    By now you’re probably off and running, but I wanted to stop by and say how much I enjoyed your IMK post. Thanks for the salmon mince idea, too (there’s a slab of salmon in my freezer that’s been awaiting inspiration) and your salmon cakes recipe sounds delicious with the sweet & sour veggies side dish. Have a wonderful adventure!

    I’m intrigued by that Coconut Jam – I’ve heard a few people talking and writing about it. I imagine it’s sweet (coconut and sugar go hand in hand in the tropics) so I like to think that this would be nice meared on a piece of brioche, with some cream perhaps. mmmm Enjoy your mini food break!

    I never thought before to combine salmon and quinoa–what a great recipe. And I have so loved visiting Italy with you. Your photos are wonderful. I still have family there and love it as well. Your photos and posts have rekindled a longing to visit again. It’s been too long since I really journeyed there.
