Number Of Ingredients 13

1 pound skinless salmon fillet, halved crosswise
2 teaspoons curry powder, preferably hot
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
8 tablespoons store-bought tartar sauce
1/4 cup cracker meal or crushed saltines, plus more for sprinkling
2 tablespoons grated peeled ginger
1 bunch scallions, finely chopped
1 large egg, lightly beaten
1/2 red bell pepper, seeded and diced
2 stalks celery, thinly sliced
1 mango, peeled, pitted and diced
Juice of 1 lime
Vegetable oil, for frying

Steps:

Put the salmon, 1 tablespoon water, 1 1/2 teaspoons curry powder, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and pepper to taste in a microwave-safe bowl. Cover with plastic wrap and microwave until the fish is opaque, 2 to 3 minutes. Flake with a fork and cool slightly. Stir in 1 tablespoon tartar sauce, the cracker meal, ginger, half of the scallions and the egg. Form into 4 patties and freeze until firm, about 10 minutes. Meanwhile, whisk the remaining 7 tablespoons tartar sauce and 1/2 teaspoon curry powder in a bowl. In a separate bowl, mix 1 tablespoon of the curried tartar sauce with the bell pepper, celery, mango, remaining scallions, lime juice, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and pepper to taste. Heat 1/4 inch of vegetable oil in a nonstick skillet over medium heat. Sprinkle the patties with cracker meal on both sides and fry until golden, 2 to 3 minutes per side. Drain on paper towels. Serve with the mango salad and curried tartar sauce.
