I watched Rachael Ray make these while the baby slept...(I'm a Nanny)...It made me so hungry -I wrote down the recipe as she went along making the recipe with a few changes, and when I got home that night I just had to make them..They are delicious-so if you want an extra special Salmon patty thy this recipe- you won't be disappointed! Note: I used canned salmon and canned sweet potato for a quicker recipe. I posted how I made it.

How To Make sweet potato salmon cakes
-
1Salmon 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.
-
2Heat 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.
-
3Garnish: 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.
-
4Arrange the salmon cakes on serving plates with the spinach on the side. Serve with mango salsa or tartar sauce if desired.
