Equipment

  • Large Mixing Bowl
  • mixing spoon or wooden spoon
  • large frying pan

Ingredients

  • 1 can wild salmon
  • ½ cup sweet potato, boiled
  • 2-3 small leaves lacinato kale, minced
  • 1 egg, beaten
  • 2 tbsp. minced onion
  • 1 tbsp. dairy-free mayo, like Primal Kitchen
  • 1 tsp. mustard
  • 2 tbsp. fresh dill, or 1 tsp. dried dill
  • ½ tsp. sea salt
  • Lemon zest

Method

  • Put all ingredients in mixing bowl together. Mix well with the back of a spoon until salmon and sweet potato are broken up and all ingredients are well combined (you don’t need it to be like a paste though).
  • Shape into about 5 round patties. Brown patties in frying pan with oil on medium heat. Fry until brown on both sides and warmed through (all the ingredients are already cooked).
  • Serve on a bun, over salad, or on their own. See more serving suggestions and subsitutions in the blog above.
