Outstanding. I couldn't imagine the salmon-sweet potato combination, but discovered that the sweet potato provides high-nutrition "filler" and texture, but the flavor is in the background - the salmon is the "star". Loved the agrodolce "relish" also. On Leftovers night, I couldn't resist adding a dollop of homemade artichoke pesto on top - my excuse was that the Salmon Cakes might have dried out a bit with re-heating - that addition made them even more wonderful.

I LOVED this recipe. I told my husband to "trust me" when I served it as he really does not like Salmon. He liked them a a lot and said he would eat them again (he knows salmon is good for him as well as sweet potatoes. A couple notes: I used Pank as I had it on hand and I think I missed out on the bit of salt cracker crums woud have provided or I just didn't salt enough. I will make at least 6 patties next time. Four was too big a patty for us. My husband requested my crab cake sauce with it and it was good. Just take Kraft Creamy Horseradish sauce (found in mayo isle and mix with a tiny bit of ketchup.

Another surprising thing was how delicious the poached salmon was before I mixed anything with it. I had to control myself from eating it. This made me buy a bag of salmon filets and I am poaching one for my lunch right now!

Seeing this recipe, I just had to try it. I have never cooked salmon, I haven't cooked much of anything really. I went to the grocery store but forgot my list - oops. I tried to visualize Rachel cooking and I bought salmon, sweet potato, red onions, scallions, cherry tomatoes and oyster crackers. The lettuces threw me. Much to my dismay when I took out the salmon the next day I realized I had forgotten a number of things and the lettuce was arugula, not endive. I didn't want to go back to the store, the salmon needed to be cooked and the wine was just about gone so I tried it anyway. I don't know what bay leaves do so that was easy to eliminate. I suspected the dill was important so I used parsley. I didn't have a food processor so I ground up the oyster crackers in my coffee grinder - slow, but effective. I made the cakes and they tasted like I really know how to cook! I was so excited I didn't even make the relish. My point? this is one fool-proof recipe!

We loved this recipe. Even my parents, who are not salmon fans at all, loved it and took the recipe home with them.

I love this recipe but it takes me much longer to prepare them. Perhaps it is because I double the recipe but it usually takes me 90 minutes. It is well worth the time.
