POLOKWANE – When you think of salsa, you think of tomatoes as the sole ingredient but did you know you can use pineapple too?
What’s for Dinner says lemon, ginger and red chilli give these tasty hake fishcakes a big flavour kick – and they’re delicious served with a fresh pineapple salsa.
Ingredients
- 800g skinless hake fillets
- 1 x KNORR Naturally Tasty Creamy Chicken and Broccoli Bake
- 2 spring onions, finely chopped
- 1 red chilli, finely chopped

- 60ml olive oil
- 180g fresh pineapple, chopped
- 1 lime, zested and juiced

Method
- Using a sharp knife, chop the fish as finely as possible – do not mince the fish as it will result in tough fishcakes.
- Place the chopped fish, spring onion, chilli, lemon zest, ginger, mayonnaise and 60ml of the coriander into a bowl. Mix together well and season to taste.
- Form the mixture into 8 cakes, then refrigerate for 30 minutes.
- Heat the butter and oil in a pan then fry the fishcakes for about 4 minutes on each side, or until golden and cooked through.
- For the salsa, mix together the pineapple, lime juice and zest, and a little extra chopped chilli, to taste. Season with salt and pepper
- Serve the fishcakes topped with the salsa.
