Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Heat the vegetable oil and sesame oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the green onion and garlic, and cook until tender. Stir in the miso paste and sake until blended. Bring to a simmer then stir in the cream and lime juice. Return to a simmer and cook until thickened about 7 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside.

  2. Step 2

    In a medium bowl, stir together the bread crumbs, salmon, onion, and cilantro. IN a small bowl, whisk together the egg, soy sauce and water using a fork. Stir about half of this into the salmon mixture, and if it seems dry, stir in a little more until the salmon mixture will stick together in patties.

  3. Step 3

    Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Form the salmon mixture into 2 inch patties for appetizers, or 4 inch patties for a main dish. Fry patties for about 4 minutes per side, or until golden brown. Serve with the sauce drizzled over, or separately for dipping.

Note

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.
