Happy Wednesday! Hope your week is going well. I told you that I would have the salmon sweet potato recipe up soon, and today is the day. I will share that recipe with you at the end of this post. But first, a little recap of Tuesday’s meals.
Breakfast:
3-egg omelet with a cup of black coffee.
I made the salmon sweet potato cakes for lunch.
So good!
I made a few changes to the recipe, and made the patties smaller, which I liked better. I also took a shortcut both times that I made this. I had a bag of diced sweet potatoes in my freezer, so I just cooked those in the microwave, then mashed them.
I think that I might actually prefer baking them in the oven, instead of cooking them in a skillet. Although, with temps in the 100’s this week, it probably wasn’t the best idea to turn on the oven.
Workout of the day:
3 mile walk around our neighborhood plus we walked to a nearby Super Target to grab something to make for dinner.
Dinner:
Turkey patties topped with provolone cheese and steamed mixed veggies that were seasoned with a little butter, sea salt and pepper.
It was just okay. I think that a little pasta sauce would have made the turkey patties much tastier. Too bad I was too lazy to make some didn’t have any. 🙁
As promised, here is the recipe for the Salmon Sweet Potato Cakes.
Salmon Sweet Potato Cakes Recipe
Ingredients
- 1 (14.75 oz) can of salmon, drained
- 1/4 cup onion
- 1 cup cooked mashed sweet potato (cooled until you can handle it)
- 1 tsp dried dill
- 2 tbsp Franks Red Hot Sauce Original
- 1/4 cup almond flour/meal
- 1 egg , beaten
- 1/4 tsp salt
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°. In a large bowl, place the drained salmon and flake it gently with a fork. Add the cooled sweet potatoes and the remaining ingredients to the bowl and mix until combined. Shape into eight patties and place each one on to a large sheet pan lined with parchment paper. Cook for 20-25 min, flipping them halfway through, until golden brown.

I usually like smaller patties too. Then I can have an extra one for the same amount of food but feel like I’m eating a lot more. 😉
Those look yummy!

Ha! That’s one of my favorite parts of having the smaller patties too! 🙂

Wow, this recipe is so full of super foods, I’m impressed! And they’re super foods that I love like salmon and sweet potatoes. I like they way you used almond meal instead of flour, adding the nutrition of the nut and taking away any issues with gluten or refined grain. Who knew that this Northwesterner would learn something about salmon burgers from a Southerner?

Hi Mary! I actually think that the almond flour helps keep the patties from falling apart better too, and I love nutty flavor it gives the patties.
