Cook the rice first. (You will need 1 cup of cooked rice for the 2 bowls plus 1/4 cup cooked to add to the salmon cakes, so cook 5/8 cup rice with 1 1/4 cups water.)
In a large bowl, combine all the Asian Wild Salmon Cakes ingredients. Form into small cakes or patties, about 1 1/2 inches in diameter.
Coat with more Panko crumbs.
Heat a large skillet, add oil to coat bottom of pan, and fry salmon cakes for 3-4 minutes on each side until browned. Remove, drain on paper towel.
Prepare the Spicy Peanut Sauce next. Put all ingredient in a blender and process until smooth and creamy.
Assemble bowls, beginning with rice on one side of the bowl and fresh greens on the other. Place the hot salmon cakes on top of the rice and assemble the vegetables on top of the greens. Drizzle with Spicy Peanut Sauce, garnish with cilantro and serve
Notes
This may make more salmon cakes than you will need for 2 servings. Freeze or refrigerate leftovers for another meal.
