Creating Sweet Potato Salmon Cakes is simple if you follow these easy steps:

1. Cook the Sweet Potato: Boil the cubed sweet potato in salted water until tender, approximately 15 minutes. Drain and let cool slightly.
2. Prepare the Salmon: While the sweet potato is cooking, steam or bake the salmon until cooked through, about 10-15 minutes. Allow it to cool, then flake it into small pieces.
3. Mix Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the cooked sweet potato, flaked salmon, breadcrumbs, egg, Dijon mustard, lemon juice, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, pepper, and parsley. Mix until well combined.
4. Form the Cakes: Shape the mixture into patties, about 2-3 inches in diameter. You should get approximately 8 cakes.
5. Heat the Oil: In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. You’ll need enough oil to cover the bottom of the pan.
6. Cook the Cakes: Place the patties in the skillet, cooking in batches if necessary. Fry for about 4-5 minutes on each side or until golden brown and crispy.
7. Drain Excess Oil: Once cooked, transfer the cakes to a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess oil.
8. Serve Warm: Enjoy your Sweet Potato Salmon Cakes warm, and prepare for the delicious flavors to shine through.
