Ingredients for Canned Salmon Patties

Sweet potatoes: Skin on and cubed. You can also use yams which are a bit more starchy.
Canned salmon: Wild pink is the cheapest.
Eggs: You’ll need large for this recipe.
Oats: Used for binding along with the eggs. Can use either quick or rolled oats.
Garlic clove: Grated.
Herbs: Chopped fine. Dill and salmon are a wonderful pairing, but cilantro and parsley will also work.
Salt and Pepper: Salt brings out the natural flavours of the rest of the ingredients. Use black pepper to taste.
Oil: Avocado, coconut or olive oil.


How to Make Canned Salmon Cakes


####SIKI####

Boil: In a medium pot, bring sweet potatoes to a boil, then reduce heat to low and cook until fork tender. Drain potatoes, then transfer to a mixing bowl.

Mash potatoes and add salmon: With a masher get to smashing! If you like the fine texture that a food processor yields, you can use that instead. Add salmon including the juices (all that flavour!) and mash a bit more.


Add remaining ingredients: Toss in eggs, oats, garlic, dill, salt, pepper, and stir with a spatula until combined. Let the mixture sit for 15 minutes to let oats soak up and act as a binder.


Preheat pan: On medium heat, add oil to coat a large ceramic non-stick skillet. Make sure your skillet and oil are hot before adding anything to it! Scoop out the mixture, less than a 1/4 cup at a time, and form it into small cakes. If you make them too big, they won’t hold their shape as well. Place them on the hot skillet.


Cook: Watch for the patties to turn golden brown, and carefully flip with a flat spatula, to cook for another 5-7 minutes.  Keep an eye on it, and watch for a nice crust to form. Remember that as the skillet gets hotter, the cakes cook faster.


Serve: These delicious salmon cakes can be served hot or cold. Either way is extremely tasty!!!  Have some healthy yogurt dip with dill on the side for dipping, serve with a salad, or on a whole-grain English muffin.
