Salmon and Sweet Potato Patties with Curried Tartar Sauce

Preheat oven to 350 F.
Place cubed sweet potatoes in a small saucepan and cover with water. Add a pinch of salt. Bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer and cover. Simmer until just tender, about 5-10 minutes, then drain.
Pour salmon into a strainer and allow to drain.
Put salmon, sweet potato, onion, mustard, yogurt, lemon juice, salt, and turmeric into a bowl. Smash and then mix all the ingredients until well blended. Add 3 tablespoons breadcrumbs and mix in. Add more breadcrumbs, 1 tablespoon at a time, until the mixture sticks together so you can form patties. Taste and adjust seasoning.
Form into medium-sized patties and allow patties to sit in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes.
Place patties on a baking sheet and spray or brush olive oil on both sides of patties. Put in oven and bake for 10 minutes, then ﬂip them over and bake 10 more minutes.
While patties are cooking, mix the tartar sauce ingredients together. Allow to sit for 10 minutes then taste and adjust seasonings so it tastes sweet and tart.
Serve hot patties immediately with a dollop of tartar sauce for each.
