Grilled Salmon Cakes with Cilantro Spread

1 pound salmon fillet, skinless and hand minced

2 tbsp lime juice, fresh

4 slices bread, without crust, processed until crumbs. 100 grams

2 tbsp fresh ginger minced

1/4 cup scallions, finely sliced

2 tsp diamond brand kosher salt

Lightly salt Salmon

Then finely chop salmon by hand. 

Add lime juice, remainder of salt and grated ginger to salmon and mix well

Mince the scallions including some of the green stem

Combine scallions with salmon by hand

In a processor process approximately 100 grams of the bread

Add bread to mixture by hand until you feel that the patties will hold together. Adding too much will detract from flavor.

Form into 4 patties. 

Chill for 15 minutes in freezer to set.

Prepare a medium hot fire. When coals are ready, using a non-stick fish grill, grill until mixture sets. As this fish is minced, it will cook quickly. Be careful not to overcook.

Russ:

If interested in pan frying, omit adding the bread to the patties and use only 1 tbsp of lime juice. Instead coat finished product with panko crumbs and carefully lower them into a skillet with plenty of hot oil, turning until golden and crispy on both sides
