These nutritious salmon cakes provide a sophisticated yet simple way to enjoy fresh fish. By using hand-chopped salmon rather than a processed alternative, the cakes retain a superior texture that pairs perfectly with the crisp, golden crust. The addition of aromatic coriander and a hint of cayenne adds a subtle warmth, while the vibrant lemon yogurt sauce offers a refreshing contrast to the rich flavours of the dish.
As a high-protein main course, this recipe is ideal for those seeking a healthy and filling weeknight dinner that doesn't compromise on taste. Serve these patties alongside a fresh aubergine salad or sliced seasonal tomatoes drizzled with extra virgin olive oil for a light, Mediterranean-inspired meal. They are equally delicious served cold the following day for a protein-packed lunch.
