• 1/2 green capsicum, finely diced

• 1/2 bunch of coriander chopped finely plus keep some leaves for garnish

• 1/2 cup sesame seeds

• 1/2 cup sweet chilli sauce

• 1 Tbsp. of oil

DIRECTIONS:

1. Boil sweet potato until soft, drain and mash well.

2. Add salmon (drained), capsicum, chopped coriander, chilli, ginger, white pepper and salt. Mix well.

3. Shape into patties, then coat in sesame seeds.

4. In a medium pan heat oil, cook patties on both sides evenly until sesame seeds look slightly toasted and patties are hot in the middle. Approximately 3minutes each side.

5. Drizzle with sweet chilli sauce and serve with a wholesome green salad.

VARIATIONS AND TIPS:

• Do not remove bones from salmon, they are a great source of calcium.

• If you don’t like coriander, don’t put it in! flat leaf parsley or some Thai basil can be added instead.

• If patties aren’t holding their shape, add a little flour of your choice until the right consistency is achieved.
