Crispy Asian Salmon Patties with Miso-Sake Cream Sauce

Ingredients

Directions

1. Start by making your flavorful sauce: heat the vegetable and sesame oils in a large skillet over medium heat, then sauté the green onion and garlic until they are soft and fragrant. Stir in the miso paste and sake until smooth, bring to a simmer, then whisk in the cream and lime juice; let it simmer for about 7 minutes until it thickens beautifully, then set it aside.

2. Next, prepare your salmon cakes by combining the bread crumbs, salmon, onion, and cilantro in a medium bowl. In a separate small bowl, whisk the egg, soy sauce, and water together with a fork, then gradually stir about half of this liquid into the salmon mixture—adding a bit more if needed—until the mixture holds together perfectly for shaping.

3. Finally, heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat and shape your salmon mixture into 2-inch appetizer patties or 4-inch main-course patties. Fry them for about 4 minutes per side until they are a gorgeous golden brown, then serve them warm with your delicious sauce either drizzled over the top or on the side for dipping!
