To prepare, you can either pan-fry the salmon cake in a lightly oiled skillet over medium heat until golden brown and heated through, which usually takes about 4-5 minutes per side. Alternatively, you can bake it in a preheated oven at 375°F (190°C) for about 15-20 minutes, flipping halfway through. Ensure the cake is cooked thoroughly before serving. It can be served as is, or used as a base for a sandwich or atop a salad.
