Add a commentI made the salmon fish cakes
I made the salmon fish cakes on their own. Substituted normal potato for sweet potato and omitted the mint as I didn't have any. They were delicious!
Personally would have liked
Personally would have liked the potatoes a little more coarse and would roll them into smaller balls next time as I struggled with the texture.
Hi, The Total Wellbeing Diet
Hi,
The Total Wellbeing Diet don't encourage exclusion of food groups. However if you really don't want to use potatoes you camn substitute it with pumpkin as a binding agent. Instead of plain flour you can use almond or coconut flour.
Hope that makes.
Thanks

These were good. I used sweet potato rather than potato and ommitted the flour, so mine were quite messy to cook, but were yummy. I also added some tumeric and zucchin to the second half of the batch to zing it up a bit, and they were yummy too. My pre-schoolers ate them without too much encouragement.

I made these tonight and they were delicious! A nice healthy meal. I hope I didn't flatter them too much though....I told them they looked beautiful and thought they'd taste lovely!!
