Make Your Own Healthy Salmon Sweet Potato Patties (The Quick Way)

I am a big fan of salmon and sweet potato both for their taste as well as nutritional composition.

However getting all the right nutrients daily isn’t always easy with work, gym and social commitments.

My goal is to do a weekly meal prep on the weekend so that I’ve got enough healthy meals for the rest of the week.

How I Do My Meal Prep

My meal prep usually consists of a big cook up on Saturday and Sunday and I’ll make extra portions to make sure that I’ve got some leftovers for the week. It’s pretty easy, you cook once, and have heaps of healthy meals for your lunches at work. If I don’t prep my meals on the weekend, I’m definitely susceptible to falling for the not so healthy options during the week. The below recipe is one of my favourites for meal prep as it’s easy, healthy and very delicious. 

These salmon sweet potato patties make a great lunchbox filler and will even entice the fussiest eaters. Make a big batch on the weekend and you’ll have a few snacks for later in the week. 

Sweet potato is a staple in my diet because I enjoy the taste and the nutritional value is more preferred in my diet compared to normal potatoes. Salmon and tuna (yes you can also make this recipe with tinned tuna instead of salmon) are also frequent in my diet because of the high-protein contents one tin of salmon gives you 15 g of protein and only 1.3 grams of fat. 

Simple Shopping Tip

When buying tinned fish make sure you choose the one in spring water because the ones kept in olive oil are higher in fat and contain up to 11 g of fat per serving. 

You can get as creative with this recipe as you want and you can serve it with a nice fresh salad or steamed greens. Here’s the basic recipe.
