These salmon fishcakes bring together sweet potato, fennel, lemon and fresh herbs. Make them for dinner with leafy greens, or prepare them ahead for a meal the next day.
The archive described them as hormone balancing. This version keeps the recipe without presenting a meal as treatment for a hormone or inflammatory condition.
Ingredients
- 1 sweet potato, peeled and chopped
- 2 × 210 g tins salmon, drained
- 2 eggs, whisked
- ¾ cup quinoa flakes
- ½ cup finely chopped fennel
- ¼ cup each chopped parsley, mint and coriander
- ¼ cup chopped spring onions
- Finely grated zest of 1 lemon
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- Leafy greens and lemon wedges, to serve
- Tahini, optional
Method
- Heat the oven to 180°C and line a baking tray.
- Boil the sweet potato until tender, then drain and mash. Allow it to cool slightly.
- Flake the salmon and check for any hard bones. Mix with the sweet potato, eggs, quinoa flakes, fennel, herbs, spring onions and lemon zest.
- Shape into small patties and place on the tray. Bake for about 15–20 minutes, checking that the centres are cooked through; larger patties may take longer.
- Serve with greens, lemon and optional tahini.
Preparing ahead
The original ingredient list omitted the unit for quinoa flakes; this version uses ¾ cup. Add the flakes gradually and check that the mixture holds together before shaping.
Cool cooked fishcakes promptly and refrigerate. If reheating, make sure they reach at least 75°C in the centre. Healthdirect — Food safety.
