Place the potatoes in a pan of cold water and bring to the boil. Boil for 12-15 minutes until tender then drain, season and coarsely mash.
Meanwhile poach the salmon in the milk for 3-4 minutes until cooked through. Drain then flake into large chunks. Stir through the ginger, lemongrass, ½ the spring onions, ½ the coriander and the juice & zest of 1 lime.
Fold through the mashed potato, mould into 8 fish cakes and dust in the flour.
