How to make the salmon lentil and chickpea patties
- Drain the canned salmon, discarding the liquid. Remove any skin and bones, if wished, then break half the salmon into chunks. Mash the remainder with a fork
- Put the lentils and chickpeas into a blender or food processor and blend until smooth. Tip into a bowl and mix in the mashed salmon and salmon chunks, courgette, spring onions, lime rind, lime juice and beaten egg. Season with salt and pepper. Shape the mixture into four large or eight small patties. Chill for 10 minutes
- Preheat the grill. Arrange the patties on a baking sheet and brush with a little olive oil. Grill for 4 to 5 minutes on each side. Meanwhile, make the relish by mixing together the yogurt, mint and coriander
- Serve the patties, accompanied by the relish
Cook’s tip: These patties are delicious served in warm pitta bread, stuffed with salad. If you’d like to spice them up a bit, add a little finely chopped red or green chilli to the salmon mixture.
