Tandoori Salmon Cakes

Olive Magazine
Servings 2

These fishcakes are full of taste bud twists. Sweet potato and tandoori seasoning add a flavorsome difference to a classic recipe.

Notes

I'm thinking the starch to salmon ratio in this recipe seems high. Also, the amount of tandoori seasoning seems low, as does the amount of spinach. I would purchase extra canned salmon and spinach and be prepared to adjust accordingly and update this recipe with any adjustments. Also, there's no salt added to the salmon cakes, though the tandoori seasoning may contain salt. Also, it would be good to find a good recipe to make a homemade tandoori seasoning and add a link. Finally, the yogurt/fresh coriander condiment isn't that exciting. I'm thinking a yogurt/garlic/cumin/lemon combination sounds amazing. See ATK's Mujadara recipe for inspiration.
