SALMON CAKES:
2 can(s) salmon, about 20 oz. each, drained, skin and bones removed
1 c mashed sweet potato,drained well
1 Tbsp old bay seafood seasoning
1 1/2 c buttery cracker crumbs
1 large egg, beaten
1 tsp crushed dried thyme leaves or 1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh
1 Tbsp hot sauce or to taste
1 bunch finely chopped green onion, white part only
3 Tbsp fresh finely chopped dill or 1 teaspoon dill weed,crushed
1 small splash white wine,optional
GARNISH:
1 small red onion, thinly sliced
2 small ribs celery including green leaves (use center or heart of celery)
2 clove garlic, chopped
1 c grape tomatoes, cut in half
2 Tbsp red wine vinegar
1 1/2 tsp granulated sugar
4 c baby spinach leaves

Steps:

  • 1. Salmon 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.
  • 2. Heat 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.
  • 3. Garnish: 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.
  • 4. Arrange the salmon cakes on serving plates with the spinach on the side. Serve with mango salsa or tartar sauce if desired.

These cakes were a bit too dry for my taste. I think I would add more mayo or sour cream next time. Otherwise, they were good.

These cakes were easy to make and turned out great! I used canned salmon, which made them even quicker to prepare. I also added a bit of chopped red onion for extra flavor.

I'm not a huge fan of salmon, but these cakes were surprisingly good! The sweet potato and spices really helped to balance out the flavor of the salmon. I would definitely make these again.

I thought these cakes were just okay. The flavor was bland and they were a bit too dry. I wouldn't make them again.
