Salmon, Cod and prawn fishcakes
Healthy fishcakes with sweet potato, green beans and curly kale
I love fishcakes! I used to order them all the time in restaurants but they were always covered with breadcrumbs or made with potato… When I became more diet conscious, I decided to try to make some at home without the breadcrumbs or potato. Here is what i came up with..
These take only 10 minutes to prepare and 6 minutes to cook! A very quick and more importantly extremely healthy meal!
Recipe:
1x large organic salmon fillet
1x large organic cod fillet
6x king prawns
5x chopped spring onions
2x crushed garlic cloves
Tsp Tamarin organic soy sauce
Tsp/ 1 squirt Organic Ketchup (can leave out if being very strict)
1 Lemon
1 Red chilli
Handful of roughly chopped basil leaves
Instructions:
1. Remove the skin from the salmon. Chop the Salmon, the prawns and the Cod fillet into small pieces and place in the blender/food processor. Blend into a smooth paste.

2. Chop the Red chilli, the spring onion, crush the two cloves of garlic and place in a mixing bowl. Add the tsp of organic soy sauce, the tsp of organic ketchup (leave this out if you are being very strict),roughly chop your basil leaves and add them in, and then finally squeeze the whole lemon in.

3. Add the salmon, cod and prawn paste to your concoction in the mixing bowl and mix it all up until it is all blended in together. Whack in some black peppercorns and a pinch of “Organic Himalayan Salt” (or just salt) and give it another mix.

4. Place whatever size fishcake you fancy into a pan; I tend to go for about a typical burger size- have a look at my pictures. Pan fry them in a tsp of organic virgin coconut oil for around 3 minutes on each side.

Health benefits
Salmon- packed full of protein and omega 3. The abundance of protein in the salmon is of course very effective for muscle growth and repair. The omega 3 in salmon improves the prevention of inflammation, aids cognitive function, helps cancer prevention, improves eye health, cardiovascular health, skin health and hair health.
Cod- Also very protein rich and rich in omega 3. It helps lower cholesterol and improves cardiovascular health. Cod liver oil also keeps your joints healthy.
Prawns- Full of protein and omega 3. These tasty protein packed morsels aid massively in cardiovascular health due to their high omega 3 and vitamin b12 content. The high levels of selenium in the prawns also helps to hinder the formation of cancer cells in the body.
Enjoy!!!!!!
