The Best Sourdough Glazed Donuts

I have seen and tried a few different recipes for salmon cakes, including the one from the Whole30 cookbook. This one is probably the closest to that, with a few minor tweaks to suit my tastes. No matter which recipe you use, they all have a couple of things in common — lots of dill (fresh is best) and sweet potato is used to help hold the cakes together. When I first made these for my family I waited anxiously to see what my husband would say. He loves vegetables and eats whatever I make, but for some reason he hates sweet potatoes. I can’t figure it out! I have prepared them every different way I can think of, but he does not like them at all. It’s mind boggling to me. He is the only one in our family who doesn’t like them. I didn’t mention the fact that these fish cakes have sweet potato in them until after he had downed three of them. He loved them! YES. I took that as a major win on my part, because I have been trying for over 10 years to get him to love them. Even if they were disguised, I don’t care. He ate them, and ENJOYED them. These cakes are delicious on their own, served with veggies, or eaten for breakfast with a fried egg on top. They make great leftovers. I have made these with both salmon and tuna. If using tuna, make sure to increase the amount of sweet potato by a couple of tablespoons or so. Tuna is a lot more dry than salmon, so the leftover cakes will be quite dry if you don’t add more sweet potato. They are delicious both ways! [amd-zlrecipe-recipe:23]

    Hi. I wanna make this now, but don’t have parchment paper. Will the cakes turn out fine without it? Also is this recipe good if made ahead and then reheated?
    Thanks.

      so sorry i missed this comment! the parchment just helps crisp them up and keep them from sticking. i am sure you found a way around it.
