Preparation:
For the Salmon Rounds:
Put salmon in a bowl and remove all bones. Crumble. Using an immersion blender or you can use a regular blender, blend together slightly (I zapped with my immersion blender about 10 times) the beans, onions, garlic, pesto (or other flavor), red pepper, mint, cumin, Worcestershire sauce. Now add the salmon and blend for another few zaps. Taste and add salt and pepper if needed. Blend again, using a spoon, just until everything is mixed.
Shape the mix into 6 balls.
Roll in seasoned panko crumbs or flour, set aside. Heat the oil in a pan over medium high heat and when hot, add the balls. Flatten slightly do not over crowd your pan.
Let cook about 4 minutes per side. Set on a paper towel lined plate.
KIWI SALSA PREPARATION:
The salsa is a must with this salmon dish.
Mix all the above ingredients into a bowl and serve on top of the Salmon Bean Mint rounds.
A wonderfully delicate crisp outside and a moist inside with loads of flavor.
