So I had a sudden moment of inspiration after my mum bought a bag of sweet potatoes, and there was some tinned salmon in the cupboard...

2 medium sweet potatoes, cubed.
Bunch of spring/salad onions.
1tsp easy garlic (or a clove of garlic).
1/2tsp of easy chilli (or 1/2tsp of crushed chilli).
1 tin of salmon.
Salt and pepper to taste.
1 egg, beaten.
2 slices of a 400g wholemeal loaf (HexB).

Bring a pan of water to the boil, add sweet potato, bring back to the boil and leave for 4-5 mins, or until the potato is soft.
Leave the potatoes to cool, and meanwhile mix the rest of the ingredients in a mixing bowl.
Turn oven on to preheat at 200 degrees Celsius.
When the potatoes have cooled slightly, mash and then add to the other ingredients.
Give all the ingredients a good mix and make sure they are all incorporated.
In a blender, or using a hand blender, make breadcrumbs with the two slices of bread, then lay out the breadcrumbs on a large plate (or kitchen surface if you don't mind the mess).
Shape the sweet potato/salmon mix into patty shapes (or any size/shape you like, as you don't need to worry about distributing syns equally or anything).
Dip the patties in the beaten egg, or use a pastry brush, then roll them in the breadcrumbs until fully coated.
Spray an oven tin or two with fry light, add the fishcakes and spray again.
Cook for 15-20 minutes, turning once, or until the breadcrumbs have gone golden.

Just made these for lunch and they were absolutely delicious! I served them with some salad, SW chips and some sweet chilli sauce (1.5 syns per tbsp).

Enjoy!

That sounds fab! Do you think it would work just as well with normal potatoes? That's all I've got in and I don't fancy trekking out in the rain!
 
made these last night and they were gorgeous!! thanks for a lovely idea x
 
i have made some before with tinned tuna as well as tinned salmon, but i didnt put any breadcrumbs in, just the other ingredients and tried to not make it too wet, then either fry slowly in fry light or you can cook them in the oven on a baking tray, they are delicious xx
