Seafood Essentials: Sweet Potato Salmon Patties image

I made these sweet-potato salmon patties the other evening and they were really good. Really not much of a fuss to assemble... Pretty much easy/peasy. I tried them three ways: One by themselves with a good dipping sauce, on a bed of wild rice, and finally as a stuffing for some brown button mushrooms. Yummy stuff. So, you ready... Let's get into the kitchen.

Number Of Ingredients 11

PLAN/PURCHASE
1 medium sweet potato, about 6 ounces (170g)
1/2 medium red bell pepper, finely chopped, about 2 ounces (56g)
2 tablespoon(s) yellow onion, finely chopped, about 1 ounce (28g)
1 large egg, whisked
4 tablespoon(s) panko breadcrumbs

Steps:

  • PREP/PREPARE
  • If you are looking for an excellent sauce to use with this recipe, look no further: https://www.justapinch.com/recipes/sauce-spread/other-sauce-spread/seafood-fish-essentials-spicy-dill-sauce.html
  • Gather your ingredients (mise en place).
  • Wash and place the sweet potato in a 400f (205c) oven and bake until softened, about 40 - 45 minutes.
  • When baking is complete lower the heat on the oven to 375f (190c).
  • While it is baking, chop the bell pepper, and onion, then whisk the egg.
  • After the sweet potato has cooled enough to handle, scoop out the flesh and mash in a mixing bowl.
  • It should have a smooth consistency with little to no lumps... a few are okay.
  • Add the bell pepper, onions, and egg, and combine.
  • Add the salt and pepper, to taste, and mix to combine.
  • Add the breadcrumbs 1 tablespoon at a time and combine until the mixture begins to firm up and resembles a thick peanut butter. Then add the salmon to the bowl and gently fold into the mixture.
  • Take about 3 - 4 ounces (85 - 113g) roll into a ball, flatten into a disk about 1/2 inch (1.3cm), and place on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
  • Place into the preheated oven and bake until patties are cooked and beginning to brown, about 25 - 30 minutes.
  • PLATE/PRESENT
  • Serve on their own with some dipping sauce, or as more of a meal, by laying them on a bed of white or wild rice. Enjoy.
  • Keep the faith, and keep cooking.
