  • Step 1

    Place the salmon, quinoa, eggs, garlic, lemon zest, green peppers, and black pepper in a large bowl. Season to taste with sea salt and mix well until fully incorporated.

  • Step 2

    Divide the mixture into eight equal-sized portions. Gently form each portion into a patty-like shape. Place the cakes on a plate and chill in the fridge for about 15 minutes.

  • Step 3

    Heat the oil in a large frying pan over a medium heat. Gently place the cakes in the pan and fry for 4 minutes on each side,
    until golden brown and cooked through.
    Do this in batches to avoid overcrowding the pan. Remove from the heat and serve hot with lemon wedges and a watercress salad.

    GRAIN EXCHANGE
    For a change, try replacing the quinoa with the same amount of prepared millet and cook in the same way.

    why not try...
    For a variation, add cooked white crab meat or tuna instead of the salmon and cook as given in the recipe.
