lime zest
1 bunch of cilantro leaves, finely chopped
1 tbsp fish sauce

1. Make the sausages. Process salmon and scallops in a food processor until smooth. Add chili, garlic, lime zest, half of the cilantro and fish sauce and process. Slowly add eggwhite and coconut milk and purée. Scoop some mixture on aluminum foil lined with saran wrap. Roll into fat sausages and twist ends until tight and bouncy. Chill overnight.
2. Make the salad. Combine papaya, tomatoes and cilantro in a bowl. In a small screw-top jar, shake fish sauce, lime juice and sugar. Pour over salad before serving.
3. When ready to serve, poach wrapped sausages in simmering water for about 10 minutes. Let stand for another 10. Unwrap and slice and serve on top of the papaya salad.
