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.

How to Make Seafood Essentials: Sweet Potato Salmon Patties

Step-by-Step

PREP/PREPARE
If you are looking for an excellent sauce to use with this recipe, look no further:
Seafood/Fish Essentials: Spicy Dill Sauce
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.
