Cooking Steps

1

Finely chop the garlic (or use a garlic press). In a medium saucepan, melt the butter and a dash of olive oil over a medium heat. Add the garlic and cook until fragrant, 1 minute. Add the water and the salt to the pan and bring to the boil. Add the jasmine rice, stir, cover with a lid and reduce the heat to low. Cook for 12 minutes, then remove the pan from the heat and keep covered for another 10-15 minutes, or until the rice is tender and all the water is absorbed. TIP: The rice will finish cooking in its own steam so don't peek!

2

While the rice is cooking, very finely chop the kaffir lime leaves. TIP: The kaffir lime leaves are fibrous so you want to cut the thin. Remove the skin from the salmon, then finely chop. In a medium bowl, combine the salmon, kaffir lime, Thai red curry paste (see ingredients list), 1/2 the soy sauce and the flour. Using damp hands, form into 1cm thick patties. You should get 2 patties per person. Place on a plate and transfer to the fridge to firm up.

3

Roughly chop the Asian greens. Cut the carrot (unpeeled) into thin matchsticks or into thin half-moons.

4

Heat a large frying pan over a medium-high heat with a drizzle of olive oil. Add the carrot and Asian greens and cook, tossing, until tender, 3-4 minutes. Stir through the remaining soy sauce and transfer to a bowl.

5

Return the pan to a medium-high heat with a drizzle of olive oil. Once hot, add the fishcakes and cook until browned and cooked through, 2 minutes each side.

6

Divide the garlic rice between plates and top with the Thai salmon fish cakes and veggies. Serve the sweet chilli sauce on the side.
