Method

Place the potatoes in a pan of cold water and bring to the boil. Boil for 12 to 15 minutes, drain, season and coarsely mash. Poach the salmon in the milk for 3 to 4 minutes until cooked. Drain then flake into large chunks.
Stir through the ginger, lemongrass, half the spring onions, half the coriander, and the zest and juice of 1 lime. Fold through the potato, mould into 8 fishcakes and dust in the flour.
Mix together the sesame oil, soy, honey and the zest and juice of 1 lime. Toss with the cabbage, carrot, and remaining spring onions and coriander.
Heat the oil in a frying pan and fry the fishcakes on a gentle heat for 4 minutes on each side until golden. Serve with the salad.
