Over the past few weeks I have out done myself with the baking. A change needed to made! I decided a savory dinner dish would be my next mixer project. But what to make that 2 vegetarians (well 1 vegetarian, and 1 pseudo vegetarian) can eat? I spent a lot of time trying to decide on a dish (which is nothing new since I have a very hard time making decisions) and finally decided on salmon cakes. Not just any salmon cakes, but salmon cakes that include sweet potatoes!
The recipe seemed easy enough, until I actually tried it. Not that it was hard, but I have come to realize I am not the neatest cook. The only changes I made were that I used oats instead of saltines. And to keep things consistent, I decided to use the same guinea pig as before to try my creation (thank you!)
This recipe brought a few firsts for me. First time poaching fish, first time using my mixer for something other than a sugary dessert, first time cooking a real meal, from scratch, for someone that I actually don't want to give food poisoning to (just kidding, kind of).
So here it goes... Salmon and Sweet Potato Cakes
Lots of the ingredients, not a lot of work space
Poaching salmon for the first time and I will do it more often.
Cooked it perfectly!
Everything in the mixer, ready to go.
My mixer in action! Everything is so much better when mixed with a Kitchen Aid :)
Almost ready to go - olive oil, 3 minutes on each side
Tomato, onion, and garlic topping
The finished product! Salmon cakes with arugula salad.
NOM!
Success! The salmon cakes were DELICIOUS. The recipe made about 5 cakes. If you are in a hurry, make sure you boil the potato ahead of time. I was a little impatient after a while and decided to nuke mine. Otherwise, the recipe was easy to follow (despite my outburst of "I don't know what I am doing!" amid a cloud of oats). Next time I might need to go back to desserts.
