- ½ cup chickpea or besan flour
- 3 tablespoons ponzu (Japanese citrus soy) or normal soy sauce
- ½ small head broccoli, very finely chopped including the stalk

Instructions
- In a large bowl add all the chopped vegetables and the drained Safcol salmon.
- In a smaller bowl add the eggs and beat in the chickpea flour until you have a thin smooth batter. Season with the ponzu or soy and pour the egg mix into the salmon and vegetable bowl. Using a large spoon combine all the ingredients.
- Add 2 tablespoons of coconut oil to a large frying pan on a medium heat. Using 2 soup spoons, spoon the salmon and vegetable mixture into the pan, shape them as tidily as possible using a fish slice as they cook.
- Turn at least once and cook until they are golden brown and the vegetables are tender. Drain on absorbent kitchen paper and repeat until all the mixture is used. Serve them hot with a salad and tomato or chilli sauce.
- You can make a half quantity of these salmon vegetable cakes if you prefer, but they’re brilliant reheated in a microwave for fast easy healthy work lunch so you may as well make a larger quantity so you have some for later.
