Delicious Sweet Potato Salmon Cakes Recipe for Dinner

Ingredients

Servings:
6
  • 1 cup mashed sweet potatoes (cooked and cooled)
  • 1 cup cooked salmon (flaked)
  • 1 large egg (beaten)
  • 1 cup green onions (chopped)
  • 1 cup bread crumbs (preferably whole wheat)
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil (for cooking)

Instructions

5 steps

  1. Prepare Ingredients

    In a large bowl, combine mashed sweet potatoes, flaked salmon, beaten egg, and chopped green onions.

    Ensure the sweet potatoes are cooled to room temperature.
  2. Mix Dry Ingredients

    In a separate bowl, mix together bread crumbs, garlic powder, and paprika.

    Use whole wheat bread crumbs for added nutrition.
  3. Combine Mixtures

    Add the dry ingredient mixture to the sweet potato and salmon mixture. Mix until well combined.

    Do not overmix to keep the cakes fluffy.
  4. Form Patties

    Shape the mixture into patties, about 2 inches in diameter.

    Wet your hands to prevent sticking.
  5. Cook Cakes

    In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Cook the patties for about 4-5 minutes on each side until golden brown.

    Do not overcrowd the skillet; cook in batches if necessary.
