PREP TIME: 20 MINUTES

INGREDIENTS:

• 1 cup cooked quinoa
• 200 grams wild Alaskan salmon (or cooked salmon)
• 1/3 cup coriander leaves and stems, chopped

• 1 egg, whisked
• 2 teaspoons fish sauce
• 2 shallots, finely chopped
• 1 garlic clove, crushed

• 1/2 lemon, zest and juice
• A pinch of Himalayan or Celtic sea salt
• 1 heaped teaspoon coconut oil (2 if runny)

PROCEDURE:

1. Combine all ingredients (bar coconut oil) and form into 4 even patties. If the mixture is too sticky, add a little extra quinoa flour.

3. Serve with a light side salad and a dollop of lemony mayonnaise if your heart (or tummy) so desires.
