Thai Fish Cakes with Chilli and Tamarind Dipping Sauce

By Big Green Egg

Fragrant fish cakes made from leftover salmon infused with Thai flavours

OVERVIEW

These flavour-packed fish cakes are a great way of using up any salmon leftovers. If you want to cure and hot smoke some salmon yourself, you’ll find a recipe here.

It’s important to take great care when frying anything in oil, but particularly in a Big Green Egg. That’s why we never recommend deep frying. Instead we suggest using a deep-sided dish and shallow frying. Although this greatly reduces the risk, please continue to exercise caution when cooking these fish cakes. We like the texture you get from cooking them this way, but if in doubt, reduce the amount of oil further.

PREPARE THE FISH CAKES

Using a food processor, blitz all of the ingredients apart from the salmon until paste-like. Add the salmon and pulse until thoroughly incorporated. Roll the mixture into a sausage shape, wrap tightly with cling film and freeze for 1 hour.

SET UP YOUR EGG

Set up your EGG for direct cooking with the Stainless Steel Grid in place and a deep-sided Cast Iron Skillet on top. Target temperature is 220˚C.

Heat 2cm of cooking oil in the pan. Cut the fish cake sausage into rounds and fry in batches until golden. Lay the cooked fish cakes on some kitchen towel to soak up any excess moisture.

Mix the dipping sauce ingredients together and serve with the fish cakes.
