Method
- Put the fish in a food processor with the roughly chopped spring onion, curry paste, lime zest and egg white. Whizz to a smooth paste. Divide the mixture into 6-8 equal-size fishcakes. Put on a baking sheet lined with non-stick baking paper, then chill for 30 minutes or overnight.
- Mix all the ingredients for the dipping sauce in a small bowl.
- Heat a glug of oil in a wide frying pan until it shimmers. Fry the fishcakes, in batches, for 3-4 minutes on each side until golden and cooked through.
- Toss together the salad ingredients in a bowl, stir the dipping sauce again, then serve alongside the fishcakes.
