2. Place the fish in a mixing bowl, add the spice mixture, toss to coat well then cover with clingfilm and refrigerate for 1-4 hours.
3. At the end of the marinating time, place the fish and its marinade in a food processor together with the egg white and salt and pulse for a few seconds until the mixture forms a chunky paste.
4. Heat the oil in a large frying pan then drop tablespoonfuls of the mixture into the hot oil flattening each one as it cooks to form little patties. You may have to do this in batches. Fry for 3 minutes on each side then drain on kitchen paper and keep warm whilst you fry the remaining mixture. Serve hot.

Would love to try this recipe... looks very delicious. Would you be able to give me the name of the sambal or even the recipe for the sambal you placed next to the fish cakes in the photo?
