Cooking Steps

Make the mash
1
  • Boil the kettle. Half-fill a medium saucepan with boiling water.
  • Peel kumara and cut into large chunks.
  • Cook kumara in the boiling water, over high heat, until easily pierced with a fork, 10-15 minutes.
  • Drain and return to saucepan. Mash until smooth. Cover to keep warm.
Cook the salmon
2
  • Meanwhile, in a large frying pan, heat a drizzle of olive oil over medium-high heat. 
  • Pat salmon dry with paper towel and season both sides.
  • When oil is hot, cook salmon, skin-side down first, until just cooked through, 2-4 minutes each side. 
  • Transfer to a large bowl, remove skin, lightly smash with a fork and allow to cool slightly.
Get prepped
3
  • Whilst the salmon is cooking, thinly slice spring onion.
  • Zest lemon to get a pinch then slice into wedges,
  • Peel and thinly slice kiwi into wedges.
  • Evenly spread crispy chip seasoning on a large plate. 
Fry the patties
4
  • To bowl with salmon, add kumara mash, seasoning blend, lemon zest, spring onion, fine breadcrumbs and the egg.
  • Using damp hands, shape mixture into 2cm-thick patties (2-3 per person).
  • Press patties into crispy chip seasoning, gently turning to coat. 
  • Return frying pan to high heat with enough olive oil to coat the base. 
  • When oil is hot, cook patties until golden, 2-3 minutes per side. Transfer to a paper-towel-lined plate.
Toss the salad
5
  • In a medium bowl, combine a drizzle of olive oil and a good squeeze of lemon juice. Add mixed salad leaves and kiwi, and toss to coat. Season to taste. 

TIP: Toss the salad just before serving to keep the leaves crisp.

Finish & serve
6
  • Divide kiwi salad, sweet 'n' salty paua-style kumara salmon cakes and dill & parsley mayonnaise between plates.
  • Serve with any remaining lemon wedges. Enjoy!
