Sweet Potato Salmon Patties

Recipe adapted from Monash University FODMAP app! Delicious and Nutritious!

These patties are so fun and fairly easy to make, especially as Sweet potatoes come in season! They are also so flavorful! See below for details!

A balanced and delicious meal all in a patty!

I am always looking for easy, but delicious, Low FODMAP recipes. I have been pretty successful in finding adaptations of my favorite dishes or finding new recipes on FODY's website etc. But, I didn't even know about the recipes on Monash's app until recently reading an article about the feature of the app. There are several fun ones I have made/intend to make! This was my second one that I made and I am loving it! I adapted it a little based on what I ha, how much I needed, and my preferences.

These patties pack nutrition with flavor and gut health! The protein from the fish, carbs and fiber from the sweet potato, fiber and nutrients from the carrot marry well to balance a plate. Add some fruits for a perfectly balanced meal. I did a side of broccoli as well to get some more of those green leafy vegetables and just steamed them after the sweet potato, which made it quite easy! I usually use a Low FODMAP service of broccoli, but if it triggers your IBS extremely, there are other green sides like spinach that work great as well! Maybe a spinach salad with some fruit to make it all so balanced!

The flavors of the fish complement the sweet potato and carrot well and the green onions add a bit of an exciting kick as well. Truly, bursts of flavor everywhere. I also LOVE sesame so I enjoy getting a low FODMAP serving of some sesame seeds on the outside!

Sweet Potato Salmon Patties

Ingredients that I changed/altered

• Used a little less than recommended of everything just because I didn't need 12 patties

• Switched out tuna for salmon based on preference

• Omitted the pumpkin as I felt I was getting that flavor with the sweet potato and had that more at the ready

• Used low FODMAP cracker crushed up instead of breadcrumbs as they were just what I had on hand

• Subbed grated parmesan for cheddar simply because I ran out of cheddar (sad)

• Kept the same amount of carrot because I am a big fan and know it won't add any fodmaps!

• Subbed chives for green onions because it was what I had

Steps I changed

1. I waited a bit to preheat the oven (waited till I had shaped the patties) as it took some time to grate and chop etc. not to mention getting the sweet potato soft enough as well!

2. I froze four and cooked four for meal prep. I did not coat the frozen ones in the flour/sesame seed mixture before freezing. I plan to thaw and coat those when cooking.

3. I cooked the full 15 mins suggested in the last step just to make sure the salmon was cooked. It may have resulted in a slightly drier patty so 13-14 is probably fine.

Overall, these were quite fun and fairly easy to make! Excited to have some of them frozen and ready when I need them in a pinch! Let me know if you try these patties on the Monash App or in any variation like the above! Comment below or on Instagram.
