Ingredients

500g salmon fillets, skinned and chopped

1 medium egg, beaten

2 spring onions, sliced

80g fresh breadcrumbs

1tbsp reduced-salt soy sauce

2tbsp sushi ginger, chopped

2tsp wasabi paste

1tsp rapeseed oil, plus extra for deep frying

50g cornflour

20g plain flour

60ml sparkling water

1 medium onion, cut into 1cm-thick slices and separated into rings

2tbsp reduced-fat mayo

4 seeded burger buns

85g bag watercress

¼ cucumber, thinly sliced

2 radishes, thinly sliced

1 carrot, peeled and grated

1tbsp white wine vinegar

1tsp sugar

Method

1
First, for the pickled veg, toss together the ingredients in a nonmetallic bowl. Set aside for 20 mins to pickle.
2
Then to make the burgers, pulse the salmon, egg, spring onions, breadcrumbs, soy sauce, ginger and 1tsp of the wasabi in a processor until coarse. Shape into 4 patties.
3
Heat the oil in a large nonstick frying pan over a medium heat. Cook the patties for 3-4 mins on each side until firm and starting to colour. Remove from the heat and keep warm.
4
Heat the oil in a deep-fat fryer to 170C. Put both flours and the water in a bowl, then whisk to a thin batter. Dip the onion rings to coat, then carefully lower into the hot oil. Deep-fry for 2-3 mins until crisp. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on kitchen roll.
5
Mix the mayo with the remaining wasabi. Split the buns. Spread the mayo on each base, add watercress, a burger, some of the pickled veg and the onion rings. Finish with the tops of the buns and serve with extra pickled veg.
