recipe: Salmon & Kumara Burgers

This recipe isn't good if you don't like fish...it was an experiment, and probably works better with tuna, but I gave it a go anyway and wasn't disappointed.

for 4 serves:

1x 210g canned salmon, 350g chopped kumara (orange sweet potato or any other potato you like), 1/2 cup bread crumbs, 1 1/2 teaspoons lemon rind, half a lemon's juice, 1 egg lightly beaten, 2 tbs chopped parsley, salt & pepper, bread to serve (we used burger buns), aioli (garlic mayonnaise) and baby spinach, 2tbs oil to fry

1. Heat salted water in a sauce pan, cook the kumara until its soft;
2. In a bowl mix lemon rind, parsley, breadcrumbs;
3. When the kumara is cooked, drain and let it cool for 5 minutes;
4. Add the kumara and salmon to the breadcrumb mixture, and mix. Add the egg and adjust the salt.
5. Make 4 patties (you might need more breadcrumbs to make them solid enough for this)
6. Heat the oil in a large frypan and fry the patties for about 3/4 minutes each side until they are cooked;
7. Heat your buns, spread half of it with some aioli, top with some baby spinach, the pattie, some more aioli and you are done.

We served them with chips but you don't really need them!
