SALMON AND SHRIMP FISH CAKES

Everyday Harumi
by Harumi Kurihara
Salmon is usually cooked as a fillet but I like to mince it—it can be used like this in many different recipes. Here I mix it with shrimp, but equally you can replace them with chopped pork or chicken. I like to leave the onions in quite large pieces because they give the fish cakes an extra bite and I love serving them with lots of fresh shredded ginger on top. You will be amazed how different really finely shredded ginger tastes—be brave and try these delicious fish cakes with more shredded ginger than you would usually take.
Makes 18 Small Fish Cakes

    • ponzu soy sauce
    • some finely shredded fresh ginger, to garnish
