Best Sweet Potato Salmon Fish Cakes Recipes

SALMON SWEET POTATO FISH CAKES WITH HERBS

Steps:

• Unless using leftover salmon place raw salmon fillet on top of a baking sheet lined with non-stick baking paper, season and drizzle with oil or mist with cooking spray. Bake in the centre of the oven at 375 F/ 190 C/ gas mark 5 for about 15 minutes or until fully cooked, taking care not to overcook it. Remove from the oven, flake the salmon (discard the skin if present) and set aside to cool before combining with the rest of the ingredients.
• Peel, cube and boil the sweet potatoes in salted water for about 10 minutes, until tender but not mushy (do not overcook them). Remove from the heat, drain thoroughly and mash coarsely using a fork (the mixture shouldn't be smooth). Set aside to cool.
• Combine the flaked salmon with the sweet potato, herbs and seasoning. Stir thoroughly making sure the mixture retains its coarse texture. Adjust the seasoning if needed.
• Form small balls (they should be firm), place in the breadcrumbs and press down a little to form fish cakes (do this gently so the fish cakes do not end up being too flat).
• In a large non-stick pan heat up 1 tablespoon of oil and fry the salmon fish cakes over a medium heat until lightly browned (approx. 2 minutes). Gently turn them over, add another tablespoon of oil and fry for 2 more minutes.
• Remove from the pan and serve immediately.

SWEET POTATO SALMON CAKES

Steps:

• 1. Salmon Cakes: Flake the salmon with a fork and season with a little pepper to taste. Add the mashed sweet potato, bay seasoning, 1/2 the cracker crumbs, egg,thyme, hot sauce, if using(I did add a little),onions and dill. Oh , don't forget the small splash of wine if using. Mix to combine. The mixture needs to be just firm enough to mold into cakes or patties. If its too wet, add a few more crumbs.
• 2. Heat 2 skillets, side by side, 1 with 2 Tablespoons olive oil over medium heat, the other with 1 Tablespoon olive oil over medium-high heat. --- Form the Salmon mixture into 4- four inch patties, coat in the remaining crumbs, gently press in so they stick and add these patties to the pan with 2 Tablespoons of oil. Cook until light golden , about 3 minutes on each side.
• 3. Garnish: In the second pan- while the patties are cooking add the red onions, celery and garlic and cook 3 minutes. Add the tomatoes and season with salt and pepper to taste and cook 2 minutes more. Stir the vinegar into the sauce, then sprinkle the sugar over top and toss to coat the tomatoes and the spinach.
• 4. Arrange the salmon cakes on serving plates with the spinach on the side. Serve with mango salsa or tartar sauce if desired.

SALMON, SWEET POTATO & CORIANDER FISHCAKES WITH TAHINI DRESSING

Steps:

• Peel the sweet potato and cut into rough chunks, then put in a microwaveable bowl with a splash of water. Cover with cling film, then cook on high for 8 mins. Alternatively, you can cook these on a hob for 10 minutes. Meanwhile, whisk the tahini with the lemon juice and enough water to make a thick dressing. Season and set aside.
• Carefully remove the cling film from the sweet potato, then blitz in a food processor until mashed but not pureed. Leave to cool for 5 mins, then add the coriander and coriander seeds. Blitz to a herby mash, (be careful not to over blitz as you still want some texture) and transfer to a mixing bowl. Then add the salmon, lemon zest, flour and some seasoning. Pulse again - you want the salmon to be roughly mixed in, rather than obliterated to mush.
• In a small bowl add the remaing flour and shape into four fishcakes, dipping into the flour to fully coat. Pop on a plate and press them down lightly to create patties. Chill in the fridge for 30 minutes. Add the remaining tbsp of olive to a large non-stick frying pan over a medium heat. Add the fishcakes and fry for 5 mins on each side until crisp and golden. Serve with the lemon wedges, tahini dressing and salad.
