Mesclun makes a nice bed for these crispy fish cakes. It seems just as easy to make four of these fish cakes as two, so wrap and refrigerate any leftovers for a cold lunch up to two days later. Or place a fish cake on a plate and microwave on High until heated through, 1–2 minutes and serve warm. Sriracha is an Asian hot sauce is made from sun-ripened chiles and has a sweet-tangy spiciness. You can find it in the ethnic-food aisle of some supermarkets and in most Asian markets. As a substitute you can mix a little chile garlic sauce with some ketchup.
