Salmon Patties and Mango Salsa



This was Monday night's dinner care of Cool Food. Salmon patties with mango salsa. I altered the recipe slightly to suit what I had on hand. The patties were very easy to make. Finely dice half a red onion and place in a food processor along with a peeled clove of garlic and 415g tin of red salmon (skin removed, bones can stay - a very good edible and non dairy source of calcium). Blitz until everything is mixed. Add 1 egg and 1/2 cup cornflake crumbs. Blitz again. Scoop out tablespoonfuls, shape into patties with clean hands. Cover with glad wap and place in fridge for 30 mins to firm up.

Salsa: Peel and dice 1 mango. Peel and dice half an avocado. Squeeze over half a lime.

Fry patties until browned (3-4 mins each side, but you can tell when they're cooked.) Serve with last night's leftover rice (reheated), chopped coriander and sweet chili sauce. A fresh, light dinner.
