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.

Step 3

Gather your ingredients (mise en place).
Step 4

Wash and place the sweet potato in a 400f (205c) oven and bake until softened, about 40 – 45 minutes.
Step 5

When baking is complete lower the heat on the oven to 375f (190c).
Step 6

While it is baking, chop the bell pepper, and onion, then whisk the egg.
Step 7

After the sweet potato has cooled enough to handle, scoop out the flesh and mash in a mixing bowl.
Step 8

It should have a smooth consistency with little to no lumps… a few are okay.
Step 9

Add the bell pepper, onions, and egg, and combine.
Step 10

Add the salt and pepper, to taste, and mix to combine.
Step 11

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.
Step 12

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.
Step 13

Place into the preheated oven and bake until patties are cooked and beginning to brown, about 25 – 30 minutes.
Step 14
