Method

1.In a jug, dissolve soda in one tablespoon milk. Sift flour into a large bowl and make a well in the centre.

2.Using a fork, lightly whisk egg yolk and remaining milk into the soda mixture. Gradually add to flour, whisking until smooth. Mix in salmon, stirring until evenly combined. In a small bowl, whisk egg white until soft peaks form and gently fold through salmon mixture.

3.Spray a large non-stick frying pan with oil and heat on medium. Drop 1/4 cupfuls of the mixture in the pan and flatten. Cook for 4-5 minutes on one side, until bubbles appear. Turn over and cook for 1-2 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack while you cook the remaining blini.
