Ingredients
- Salmon fillets
- Breadcrumbs
- Egg
- White asparagus
- Green asparagus
- Coconut milk
- Curry powder
- Salt
- Pepper
Instructions
- Prepare the salmon by removing any skin and bones, then finely chop or flake the salmon fillets into small pieces.
- In a mixing bowl, combine the flaked salmon with breadcrumbs, beaten egg, finely chopped fresh herbs (optional), salt, and pepper. Mix thoroughly until the ingredients bind together.
- Form the salmon mixture into 8 evenly sized patties, ensuring they are compact and will hold their shape during cooking.
- Trim and clean both white and green asparagus, cutting them into equal-length pieces, approximately 3-4 inches long.
- Heat a large skillet with olive oil over medium-high heat. Gently place the salmon patties and cook for 3-4 minutes on each side until golden brown and crispy.
- In a separate saucepan, prepare the coconut curry sauce by combining coconut milk, curry powder, a pinch of salt, and a dash of pepper. Simmer on low heat, stirring occasionally.
- In another pan, quickly sauté the asparagus with a touch of butter or olive oil, cooking for 2-3 minutes to retain their crisp texture and vibrant color.
- Plate the salmon patties, arrange the white and green asparagus around them, and drizzle the coconut curry sauce over the top.
- Garnish with fresh herbs like cilantro or chives, and serve immediately while hot.
Tips
- Use fresh, high-quality salmon and ensure it's thoroughly deboned to create smooth, uniform patties.
- The key to perfect patties is binding - make sure your egg and breadcrumbs are mixed thoroughly to help them hold shape.
- Don't overcrowd the pan when cooking patties; this ensures a crispy, golden exterior.
- For the asparagus, a quick sauté maintains its bright color and crisp texture - avoid overcooking!
- When making the coconut curry sauce, simmer on low heat to develop deeper flavors without scorching.
- For an extra flavor boost, consider adding finely minced garlic or ginger to your salmon mixture.
- Serve immediately to enjoy the contrast between the hot, crispy patties and the creamy curry sauce.
