Salmon & Sweet Potato Hash with Cilantro Lime Dressing

30 comments

Did you get to read my bedtime story yesterday? The one about the princess? :)

I think some of you enjoyed it. Thanks for the great comments!

:)

I found SO many wonderful recipes this weekend that I was just dying to make. (You people really need to stop with the incredible creations. I want them all!) Alas, there is only so much money to be spent, time to be had, and mouths to feed (read: mine) that I could only make a few… really good ones.

Pull up a chair, a computer, a cup of coffee and/or tea, and eat your heart out. But not literally because that would be a waste of a perfectly good heart. (can you tell it’s early…? or late. I get weird at random times)

A dish inspired from My Life as a Mrs. was first on my list of recipes to conquer…

——————————————————

One word: WOW.

Two words: Make. Now.

Three words: E A S Y, peasy, pleasey?


Whatever, you get the idea.

(Paleo) Salmon & Sweet Potato Hash with Cilantro Lime Dressing

Aka: Worthy of Wordlessness. ;)

Adapted from My Life as a Mrs.: Sweet Potato Crusted Fish with Cilantro Lime Vinaigrette

THE HASH

  • 1/2 cup shredded sweet potato (1/2 large potato)
  • 1 can of wild-caught salmon (Lazy, yes. Easy, definitely)
  • 1 egg
  • salt, pepper, cumin, red pepper, garlic powder

Combine all ingredients in a bowl. Heat a large sautee pan on high heat. Grease pan and spoon hash into two even patties. Reduce heat to medium and cook for about 7 minutes on each side, flipping once.

While salmon & sweet potato hash is cooking, start your cilantro lime dressing.

 

THE CILANTRO LIME DRESSING

  • 1 cup Greek yogurt (or sour cream or vegan sub)
  • 1 cup cilantro, roughly chopped
  • 1 clove garlic, crushed
  • juice from 1-2 limes (about 2-3 tbsp, or sub lemon juice)
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • pepper, to taste

After chopping the cilantro and crushing the garlic, place all ingredients into a bowl, mixing well.

Top your salmon hash with plenty of cilantro lime goodness. You may use more of less of any of the ingredients here. It’s a throw-and-go type of recipe. No black and white. And the addition of the garlic really gives this a spicy kick… in a good way.

Now, this dish is the easiest thing ever and tastes wonderful. Please feel free to sub, add, subtract anything you’d like. That’s the way a recipe should be: Versatile.

Now go make this my little bloggies… and report back! I want to know how you made this your recipe.

Do you have a list of recipes to make?

Any easy ones? Do tell!

Everything looks amazing, minus the fish part. I wish I liked fish! I just cant stand it :( BUUUT that dressing sounds absolutely amazing! I love cilantro so much, thats one of the plants I will be growing in the new future!! :)

Lori May 17, 2011 at 6:49 AM

Oooh do plant cilantro. It grows like a weed!

If you don’t like fish, this would taste great with chicken or even quinoa or something.

Yes! love this. I actually have a can of salmon and Ive been staring at it wondering what to do with it. Well now I have a kick ass recipe to make up! I have a HUGE list of recipes. I got backed up. Now that I have some time off its gonna be like a cooking explosion. Oh btw, I laughed cause the other day there was a sale of Kaboucha ( my fav) and I bought like 8 of them! hahah! It reminded me of that pic you took of your stash. Made me laugh a little. Have a good one!

I will make this for my husband–what a great spin on the salmon cakes I often make him! And since I’m basically living on yams atm, there are plenty around.

Yes, always an endless recipe list…

I bet the husband would love this! The dressing would go great on fish tacos, I bet (says the vegan girl :) ).

I’ve got too many recipes bookmarked right now! I don’t know where to start with them.

This looks ABSOLUTELY amazing. I don’t necessarily make a list of recipes to cook, but I do save ones that interest me, and if they REALLY interest me, I add them try to sort of store them at the front of my mind, heh. This may have to be one of those!

Ohhh that looks so easy! bookmarked.
I have lots of recipes marked down to make, and lots of them are yours! I made a pact that Id get better at branching out and making other peoples recipes – I have been in a total rut lately.

Made this last night! It was ah-mazing! I only had lemon’s on hand i’m sure it would have been better w/ limes, but still deeeelish! Love the easey ingredients (all at Trader Joes) and quick to cook. Have enough left over dressing I’ve decided to make it again for dinner tonight. Anything you want two nights in a row must be good! Great recipe Lori! (extra points for being paleo!!!) :)

Hi Lori-
Can you tell me how much salt, red pepper, cumin & garlic powder goes in this. It does not tell how much. Thanks!

My fisherman husband was pretty bored with eating trout so he stopped bringing them home :( To cut back on our grocery bills I BEGGED him to bring home the fish he catches. He caught a nice rainbow trout this weekend and I was determined to make something new and delicious! I made these with the trout instead of salmon, and mashed avocado instead of yogurt/sour cream. He LOVED it. He said “If you keep making this I will keep bringing fish home.” Success!
