Steps:

Place the salmon fillet in the center of an aluminum foil piece. Season with salt and pepper and pour sake or wine on top (if using).
Wrap the salmon with the foil and cook in the oven or oven toaster for 20 - 25 minutes at 400°F/200°C.
In a small bowl, mix all the 6 ingredients for the sauce and set aside.
In a larger bowl, mix flour, salt, egg, water and sesame oil.
When the salmon is cooked, remove the skin and flake the salmon with a folk.
Add scallions and salmon flakes to the pancake mixture and mix.
Heat a large non-stick frying pan and spray oil.
