Instructions
Prepare rice according to package directions.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the salmon, rice, green onions, cilantro, red curry paste, fish sauce, 1 tsp lime juice, and egg. Mix until well combined. Season with salt and pepper. If the mixture feels too wet, add a bit more breadcrumbs to help it hold together.
Using your hands, shape the mixture into patties (about 2-3 inches wide) and place them on a plate. You should get about 8 fish cakes. Spread the breadcrumbs on a plate and gently coat each fish cake with breadcrumbs, pressing lightly to adhere.
In a large skillet, heat about 1/4 inch of vegetable oil over medium heat. Once hot, carefully add the fish cakes in batches, making sure not overcrowd the pan. Cook for about 4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Remove and place on paper towels to drain excess oil.
In a small bowl, whisk together the sweet chili sauce, remaining lime juice, and soy sauce.
Serve warm, accompanied by the dipping sauce.
Best Fish to Use in Fish Cakes
In this recipe, we've opted for salmon due to its unique flavor and tenderness. However, there are plenty of other fish you can use to make fish cakes. Here are just a few options that work equally well.
- Tilapia: A lean white fish known for its mild flavor and earthy tasting notes, tilapia is good choice for fish cake recipes as its neutral flavor blends well with a whole host of ingredients.
- Cod: The mild, buttery flavor of cod has made it a staple of many fish recipes we know and love today, making it another viable option for fish cake meals like this one.
- Pollock: Another mild-tasting white fish, pollock complements a wide range of ingredients, making it particularly suitable for use in fish cake dishes.
