Key Ingredients- 1 pack Baked Fish Cakes (approx. 200g)
- 1 medium-sized fresh Tomato
- A handful of fresh Daikon Radish Sprouts
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
Before you begin cooking, it’s helpful to gather and prepare all your ingredients. Wash the fresh tomato thoroughly and pat it dry. Have your baked fish cakes ready, and gently rinse the daikon radish sprouts under cool water, then shake off excess moisture.
Step 2
To enhance the chewy texture, we’ll prepare the baked fish cakes. Open the package and place the fish cakes in the microwave for about 1 minute. This gentle heating softens them, making them easier to slice while improving their texture. Once heated, slice the fish cakes in half, aiming for pieces that are not too thin to ensure a pleasant bite.
Step 3
Next, prepare the fresh tomato. After washing, slice it into bite-sized pieces, similar in size to the fish cake. Slicing them into half-moons looks attractive on the plate and makes them easy to eat. If the tomato is very seedy, you can lightly scoop out some of the seeds before slicing to prevent the salad from becoming watery.
Step 4
Now it’s time to artfully arrange the prepared fish cakes and tomatoes on your serving plate. Alternate layers of fish cake and tomato, building them up slightly to create an appealing presentation. Think of the classic Caprese salad with its mozzarella and tomato layers – the color contrast here will make your dish look even more appetizing.
Step 5
Let’s add some delicious flavor! Drizzle the balsamic glaze in a zig-zag pattern over the assembled fish cakes and tomatoes. The sweet and tangy notes of the glaze will beautifully complement the savory umami of the fish cakes and the freshness of the tomatoes. Feel free to adjust the amount according to your preference.
Step 6
Finally, garnish your creation with the fresh daikon radish sprouts. Scatter them over the salad. The crisp texture and subtle peppery flavor of the sprouts will add a delightful finishing touch. Your ‘Fish Cake Caprese Salad’ is now complete – a beautiful and delicious dish perfect for snacking, brunch, or serving with wine!
