Directions
- Preheat oven to 350 F.
- To a large skillet, heat a tablespoon of olive oil and add the onion, garlic and ginger. Saute for two to three minutes until soft then add to a food processor.
- Return the pan to the heat and add in the spinach. Cook until wilted, about two minutes. Set aside
- To the food processor, add the salmon, egg, cooked sweet potato flesh (discarding the skins), onion, garlic, ginger and oats. Pulse until the mixture comes together, then add in the spinach. Pulse just until you see it mixed through.
