Stay Awake

1 Place corn kernels, flour, coriander, egg and chilli flakes in a food processor. Blend until batter is combined, but still slightly chunky.

2 Spray a large non-stick frying pan with oil and set over high heat. Add 1/4 cupfuls of batter to pan and cook for 1–2 minutes per side, or until fritters are golden brown and cooked through.

3 Combine extra coriander leaves, avocado, tomato and onion in a small bowl to make salsa. Drizzle with oil and lime juice.

4 Place 2 fritters on each plate and top with salsa. Add smoked salmon and 2 lime wedges (if using). Serve immediately.

Variations

To keep the cost down, use lemons instead of limes, or use packaged lime juice.
If you don’t like red onion, you can substitute this for spring onion.
