Make It Now:

Bring the broth to a boil in a large skillet or pot over high heat, then reduce to a simmer.

Season salmon fillets lightly on both sides with salt and pepper. Carefully lower them down into the liquid, making sure they are submerged. (Note: If the broth doesn’t cover the top of the filets, add just enough water to make sure they are covered.) Poach until the salmon is opaque, about 8 to 10 minutes.

Using a slotted spoon, transfer the salmon to a mixing bowl and flake the fish with a fork. Add in the mashed sweet potatoes, seafood seasoning, half of the cracker crumbs, the egg, thyme, hot sauce, scallions, and parsley. Using your hands or a fork, combine until the mixture is firm enough to mold into cakes. (If it’s too wet, add a few more cracker crumbs.)

Add the remaining cracker crumbs to a plate. Form the salmon mixture into four (4-inch) patties or eight (2-inch) patties and coat in the cracker crumbs on both sides. (Freezing instructions begin here.)

Discard the liquid from the skillet and wipe it clean. In that same skillet, heat the oil over medium heat until shimmery.

Cook the fish cakes until light golden, about 2 to 3 minutes on each side.

Serving suggestion: Serve with tartar sauce for dipping or serve on buns with cheese on top, like a burger.
