Instructions
If you are using previously frozen salmon fillets, leave to thaw.
Arrange the salmon fillets in an oven safe baking dish and bake for 12 minutes at 180 degrees Celsius.
Remove from oven and leave to cool and shred fine.
In the meantime, cover the sweet potato with water in a small pot and boil until soft.
Drain and mash sweet potato with butter and seasoning. Set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the shredded salmon fillets with sweet potato, grated onion, chives, mint and chili flakes.
Shape the fish cakes in your hand until you have a small fish cake, to fit in your palm. Flatten a little as well. Set aside.
Heat the cooking oil until hot.
Combine the grated Parmesan with coconut and paprika in a small mixing bowl.
Dip each fish cake in egg, then cover in coconut and Parmesan crumbs and shallow fry on each side a few minutes until golden and crispy.
Combine the mint with the mayonnaise and serve with crispy fish cakes.
