Whilst nothing beats a classic burger enjoyed with a side of crispy fries, this salmon burger makes a welcome twist on this favourite meal. The airbag farina adds a golden, extra crispy texture that sits so well with the salmon. The crab coleslaw and fresh salad make the perfect accompaniments.
Salmon burger coated with airbag farina
Ingredients3 hot-smoked salmon fillets, skinned 4 spring onions, finely chopped 4cm piece fresh ginger, grated 1 tbsp light soy sauce zest and juice of ½ lime 150g cold mashed potato small handful fresh coriander, finely chopped 2 egg whites 150g Sosa airbag farina |
MethodFlake the salmon into a large bowl, then mix in the spring onion, ginger, soy sauce, lime zest and juice, potato, salt and pepper and coriander. Form into 4 burgers, then chill for 20 minutes. Roll in egg whites and then roll through the air bag farina. Pre heat the sunflower oil in a fryer to around 180°C. Place the salmon patties into the oil and cook until a golden colour. |
Crusty roll (using home gourmet yeast)
Ingredients280g (10oz) strong white flour 7g Yeast 2 tsps caster sugar 2 tsps salt 55g (2oz) butter 300ml (10 fl oz) warm water (200ml boiling topped with 100ml cold) 1 tbsp olive oil |
MethodPut everything bar the olive oil and water in a bowl and give it a little stir through. Make a well in the centre of the mix and add the water and olive oil and mix well. Use a spoon to do this until the dough pulls together and then take it out and drop it onto a floured surface. Knead the dough for between 7 to 10 minutes until the dough becomes like elastic. Tear off into 6 even-sized bits of dough, or more if you want smaller rolls. Roll each piece of dough in the palms of your hands for a few seconds to get a ball shape and then place it onto a baking tray. Once the dough is on the tray wrap some cling film loosely over the top to ensure dough is covered and leave to expand. Leave for around 45 minutes and it should double in size. Pre heat the oven to 230°C. Bake for 10 minutes then drop down to 200°C for 20 minutes. |
