Finely chop the snapper, salmon and prawns in a food processor. Add the coriander, fish sauce, chilli sauce, egg whites, garlic, lime leaves, lemon zest and juice and avocado oil. Mix together briefly. Shape into 8 patties.
Lightly oil a non-stick frying pan and cook the patties in batches for 3 minutes on each side.
Meanwhile, wash the quinoa in plenty of cold water and drain. Put in a saucepan with 250 ml (9 fl oz/1 cup) of water. Bring to the boil and then reduce the heat, cover the pan and simmer for 10-12 minutes until all the water has been absorbed. Leave to stand for 5 minutes, and then mix with the lemon zest, juice and coriander.
Serve the fish cakes on a bed of quinoa.
