  To a food processor, add the bread and blend into coarse breadcrumbs, not too fine you want some texture.

  Remove the roots and chop the washed spring onion (scallion), use both the white part and most of the green. Add to food processor along with the salmon pieces, salt and pepper, Dijon mustard, one whole egg and the juice of half a lime. Give the machine a couple pulses, you want a coarse mince. Set aside.

• Step 7

  Serve immediately topped with salsa and scattered leaves of cilantro (coriander).

Little Tips

If you don't own a food processor, you can also make this recipe by chopping the salmon with a knife. A coarser mixture will still be fine.

You can also buy ready made panko bread crumbs.
