    Instructions

    (Stops screen from sleeping)

    1 Use a stick blender or food processor to process bread into chunky breadcrumbs.

    2 Add red onion and fish. Process until fish is finely chopped then add the next 4 ingredients and process until the mixture begins to form a ball. Add coriander and carrot and process until just mixed.

    3 Work with wet hands to shape mixture into walnut-sized balls. Flatten balls into disks about 1.5cm thick.

    4 Preheat and lightly oil hotplate (use a non-stick liner if you have one). Arrange as many cakes as will comfortably fit in one batch and cook over a medium-high heat until golden brown (about 3 minutes). Gently turn over to cook other side.

    5 Arrange mesclun (or other salad greens) on a platter. Arrange fish cakes, tomatoes and add a bowl (or bowls) of the dipping sauce to platter.

    Variations

    Make it gluten free: Check curry paste,  fish sauce and sweet chilli sauce (if using) are gluten free.

    HFG tip

    *To make dipping sauce, place 2 tablespoons lime juice or lemon juice, 1 tablespoon fish sauce, 1 tablespoon water, 1 teaspoon sugar and finely chopped red chilli in a small bowl and stir until sugar dissolves. Add some tiny diced carrot and chopped fresh coriander for colour.
