Ingredients

1 tblsp vegetable oil, plus extra for shallow frying

250g packet microwave brown rice and quinoa

415g can red salmon, drained, flaked

4 green spring onions, thinly sliced

1/2 cup chopped fresh coriander

1 egg, lightly beaten

2 tblsps sweet chilli sauce, plus extra to serve

Method

Place sweet potato on a non-stick oven tray. Drizzle over oil. Toss to coat. Season with salt and pepper. Spread into an even layer.

Cook in a moderately hot oven (200C) for 25 to 30 minutes, or until sweet potato is tender and lightly browned. Cool slightly. Transfer to a large. Mash coarsely.

Meanwhile, heat brown rice and quinoa in microwave according to packet directions. Cool slightly.

Add brown rice and quinoa, salmon, onions, coriander, egg and sauce to sweet potato. Mix well.

Place breadcrumbs in a shallow dish. Toss 1/3 cup portions of mixture in breadcrumbs and shape into 7cm round patties (makes approx 12).

Heat enough vegetable oil in a large, non-stick frying pan to shallow fry over a medium heat. Cook salmon cakes in two batches for 4 to 5 minutes on each side, or until golden brown.

Prepare salad kits to packet direction.

Serve salmon cakes with salad and extra chilli sauce.
