When making Asian salmon cakes with creamy miso and sake sauce, it's best to use fresh salmon fillets for optimal flavor. If using canned salmon, be sure to drain and remove any bones for a smoother texture. After forming the salmon cakes, it's important to chill them in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to help them firm up, making them easier to handle and ensuring they hold their shape during cooking.
