1. Pre-heat the oven to 180C (fan)/400F/gas mark 6.

3. Place the spring onions and coriander into a food processor and blitz to combine.
4. Add the lime zest and juice, breadcrumbs, salmon filets, salt and pepper. Scoop the flesh from the cooked sweet potato and add to the food processor. Blitz until just combined, do not over mix.
5. Divide the mix into 16 evenly sized balls and chill in the fridge for 10 minutes.

Chefs Tip – Swap the salmon for fresh tuna in this recipe to ring the changes. This recipe makes a great canape, divide the mix into 32 balls and bake for 8-10 minutes. Serve on cocktails sticks with a sweet chilli dipping sauce.
