- dried chilli flakes ½ tsp
- salmon fillets 500g, skins removed, roughly chopped
- Thai green curry paste 2 tbsp
- garlic 1 clove, crushed
- ginger a thumb-sized piece, finely grated
- red chilli ½, deseeded and roughly chopped
- ciabatta buns 4, halved and toasted
- low-fat mayonnaise 2 tbsp
SLAW
- fish sauce ½ tbsp
- limes 2, juiced
- soft light brown sugar ½ tbsp
- red chilli ½, deseeded and finely chopped
- carrots 2, peeled into ribbons
- cucumber ½, peeled into ribbons
- mint ½ a small bunch, leaves torn
Method
- STEP 1
Heat the oven to 200C/fan 180C/gas 6. Tip the sweet potato wedges onto a roasting tray, spray with oil, then toss with the chilli flakes and some seasoning. Roast for 45 minutes, turning halfway, or until cooked through and crisp at the edges. - STEP 2
Put the salmon, curry paste, garlic, ginger, chilli and some seasoning into a food processor and pulse until roughly minced. Form into 4 patties, roughly the same size as your buns, and chill for 15 minutes to firm. - STEP 3
Whisk together the fish sauce, lime juice and sugar in a bowl, then add the chilli, carrots, cucumber and mint, with a little seasoning. Toss well and leave to marinate for 20 minutes. - STEP 4
Heat a non-stick frying pan over a medium heat and spray lightly with oil. Fry the burgers for 2-3 minutes on each side until caramelised. Put onto a baking tray and put in the oven for the final 10 minutes of the wedges, to cook through. - STEP 5
Spread the bun halves with the mayo, then put the burgers on the bases, followed by the slaw and bun tops, serving any leftovers on the side with the wedges.
