These make great appetizers; or if you want a light meal, add a salad, and you've got lunch or dinner. I have made salmon cakes with parsnip and potato (also delicious), but the sweet potato is the ultimate complement to the salmon.
6 ounces of cooked salmon (or crab meat)
1 tablespoon lime juice
1 cup cooked, mashed sweet potato
1/2 cup soft butter
1/2 cup bread crumbs
1 cup mashed potato flakes
1 large egg (2 medium)
1 rounded tablespoon sautéed garlic
1/2 teaspoon salt
Mix ingredients thoroughly with a mixing fork.
Divide into 12 portions and form small patties on a well oiled baking sheet.
Bake at 350 degrees for 15 minutes. Flip, and bake for 10 more minutes on the second side.
Spicy Sauce:
1/3 cup mayonnaise
1 tablespoon yellow mustard
1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper
1 teaspoon dill weed
2 tablespoons finely minced dill pickle
If you don't want the heat, leave out the red pepper.
Contrary to the cliche, it isn't the thought that counts, but the effort. Oliver Burkeman
