3. To prepare the cucumber relish, toss the relish ingredients together (see Note).

4. For each portion: Cook 2 cakes in a preheated seasoned skillet until golden brown on each side, about 8 minutes. Serve the salmon cakes on a bed of approximately 1/2 oz / 45 g of cucumber relish.

Note: Drain any excess liquid from the relish and reserve it to toss with mixed greens.
