Ingredients

• 2 medium Sweet potato
• 300 grams Salmon fillet
• 1 large Egg
• 1 cup Bread crumbs
• 2 stalks Green onion
• 1 large Garlic clove
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper
• 1 teaspoon Smoked paprika
• 3 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 teaspoon Lemon zest

Directions

Step 1

Peel and dice the sweet potatoes into 1-inch cubes. Place them in a pot of boiling water and cook for 10-12 minutes, or until fork-tender. Drain and mash until smooth. Set aside to cool slightly.

Step 2

While the sweet potatoes are cooking, check the salmon fillet for any bones and remove them if necessary. Place the salmon in a baking dish and bake at 375°F (190°C) for 12-15 minutes, or until cooked through and flakey. Let it cool, then flake the salmon into small pieces with a fork.

Step 3

Finely chop the green onions, garlic, and fresh parsley.

Step 4

In a large mixing bowl, combine the mashed sweet potatoes, flaked salmon, chopped green onions, garlic, parsley, egg, bread crumbs, salt, black pepper, smoked paprika, and lemon zest. Mix thoroughly until the ingredients are evenly combined.

Step 5

Using your hands, shape the mixture into patties of your desired size. Aim for about 8 medium-sized patties.

Step 6

Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Once hot, add the patties in batches, ensuring not to overcrowd the pan. Cook for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and crispy.

Step 7

Transfer the cooked patties to a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil.

Step 8

Serve warm with your favorite dipping sauce, a side salad, or steamed vegetables.
