The way we cook can change the GI of food e.g. The GI of a 150g sweet potato, boiled with its skin for 30 minutes, is 46. That number rises to 94 if the same sweet potato is baked for 45 minutes.

SALMON PATTIES

INGEDIENTS

• 1 small sweet potato
• 210g can of red or pink salmon (or fresh steamed salmon)
• 1/4 cup cottage cheese
• 2 tsp. red onion finely chopped
• 1 tbsp. parsley chopped
• 1 tbsp. lemon juice
• 1 egg white or more if required
• Mixed salad for serving

INSTRUCTIONS

1. Boil the sweet potato until just cooked and mash.
2. Combine sweet potato, salmon, cottage cheese, onion, parsley, lemon juice and egg white in a bowl. Shape mixture into 8 patties.
3. Cook under a hot grill until just browned or in a steamer until cooked. NB1
4. Serve with salad.

Adapted from http://www.shapeme.com.au/weight-loss-recipes/126/Salmon-Patties

NB1 The way you prepare sweet potatoes makes a difference in their GI. The GI of a 150g sweet potato, boiled with its skin for 30 minutes, is 46. That number rises to 94 if the same sweet potato is baked for 45 minutes. These dramatic differences come from the way the starches in sweet potatoes gelatinize during cooking. Foods that turn viscous, or jelly-like, in your digestive tract have a lower GI because the gelatinous substance slows the release of the nutrients in the food. Baking your sweet potatoes instead of boiling them changes the quality of their starches and transforms this root vegetable from a moderate-GI food to a high GI-food.

POACHED SALMON AND WHITE SWEET POTATO CAKES!

We made Salmon cakes with poached fresh salmon rather than the canned. Teamed with homemade chick pea and herb mix of choice and tahini sauce.

The salmon cakes were the usual mashed steamed white sweet potato, salmon, eggs, onion, parsley, lemon juice, ginger and pepper and coated in wholemeal flour.

14 3/4 Oz Canned Salmon (I used Red Sockeye)
2 Egg Whites slightly beaten

Lemon Juice couple squirts
Mixed herbs to taste

2 Tbsps. Seasoned multigrain bread crumbs.

Prepare Salmon

Open can, drain Salmon and place on chopping board for easier prep. Using a knife scrap off the skin.

Place the cleaned Salmon in a mixing bowl. Do not throw the bones out. They are a great source of calcium. Break up the bones with a spoon and place in bowl.

Mix

Add egg whites, onions, lemon juice, and seasoning to the Salmon and mix. Mix in the patty.

In a medium size stoneware fry pan. Lightly spray with olive oil

Place pan over Med/High heat.
