Cooking Steps

Roast sweet potatoes
1

Before starting, preheat the oven to 450˚F. Wash and dry all produce. Cut sweet potatoes into 1-inch pieces. Add sweet potatoes and 1 tbsp oil (dbl for 4 ppl) to a parchment-lined baking sheet. Season with salt and pepper, then toss to coat. Roast in the middle of the oven, stirring halfway through, until tender and golden-brown, 18-20 min.

Prep
2

While sweet potatoes roast, halve tomatoes. Zest, then juice half the lemon (juice whole lemon for 4 ppl). Cut any remaining lemon into wedges. Peel, then grate shallot. Finely chop chives. Finely chop celery. Pat salmon dry with paper towels, then place on a cutting board, skin-side down. Using a knife, carefully slide the blade between flesh and skin, parallel to the cutting board, to remove skin. Cut salmon into 1/8-inch cubes. (TIP: Cut celery and salmon pieces as small as possible. Smaller pieces help prevent the cakes from breaking apart when cooked.)

Form salmon cakes
3

Add salmon, panko, lemon zest, mayo, shallots, celery and half the chives to a large bowl. Season with 1/2 tsp salt (dbl for 4 ppl) and pepper, then stir to combine. Using your hands, firmly press together and shape salmon mixture into 4 equal-sized, 1/2-inch-thick patties (8 patties for 4 ppl).

Pan- fry salmon cakes
4

Heat a large non-stick pan over medium heat. When hot, add 1/2 tbsp oil, then patties. Cook, flipping once, until patties are cooked through, 2-3 min per side.** ( NOTE: For 4 ppl, cook patties in 2 batches, using 1/2 tbsp oil per batch.)

Make yogurt dipper and salad
5

While salmon cakes fry, add yogurt, remaining chives and 1/2 tbsp lemon juice (dbl for 4 ppl) to a small bowl. Season with salt and pepper, then stir to combine. Set aside. Add 1/2 tbsp lemon juice, 1/2 tsp sugar and 1 tbsp oil (dbl all for 4 ppl) to a medium bowl. Season with salt and pepper, then whisk to combine. Add spring mix and tomatoes, then toss to combine.

Finish and serve
6

Divide salmon cakes, sweet potatoes and salad between plates. Dollop yogurt dipper over salmon cakes. Squeeze over a lemon wedge, if desired.
