Asian Salmon Cakes with Creamy Miso Sauce

Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Asian Salmon Cakes with Creamy Miso Sauce.

1. Step 1

   To start your culinary adventure, grab a large skillet and warm up some vegetable oil along with a splash of sesame oil over medium heat.

2. Step 2

   Once the oils are shimmering, toss in the chopped green onion and minced garlic, letting them sizzle until they soften and release their delightful aroma.

3. Step 3

   Next, stir in the miso paste and sake, blending everything together until it’s a harmonious mix.

4. Step 4

   Bring this flavorful concoction to a gentle simmer, then add in the heavy cream and a squeeze of fresh lime juice.

5. Step 5

   Keep simmering for about seven minutes, or until the sauce thickens to a luscious consistency.

6. Step 6

   Once it’s ready, remove it from the heat and set it aside, allowing the flavors to meld beautifully.

   Now, let’s prepare the salmon mixture! In a medium bowl, combine the bread crumbs, flaked salmon, chopped onion, and fresh cilantro.

   In a separate small bowl, whisk together the egg, soy sauce, and a splash of water until it’s smooth and well combined.

   Pour half of this egg mixture into the salmon bowl, mixing gently until everything holds together nicely for forming patties.
