SALAD
2 carrots
1 small cucumbers or 1/2 large cucumber

Preparation

Tip the salmon into a food processor with the paste, ginger, soy and chopped coriander.
Pulse until roughly minced.
Tip out the mix and shape into 4 burgers.
Heat the oil in a non-stick frying pan, then fry the burgers for 4-5 mins on each side, turning until crisp and cooked through.
Meanwhile, use a swivel peeler to peel strips of carrot and cucumber into a bowl.
Toss with the vinegar and sugar until the sugar has dissolved, then toss through the coriander leaves.
Divide the salad between 4 plates.
Serve with the burgers and rice.
