Steps:
- In a large bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, lemon juice, mustard, Old Bay, salt, and pepper. Add the diced salmon, ¼ cup of the panko, the scallions, the celery, and the dill. Gently mix until uniformly combined.
- Place the remaining 1 cup of panko in a shallow dish or pie plate. Using a ⅓-cup measure, scoop the salmon mixture and form into a compact cake about 1 inch high. Place the salmon cake into the panko and gently coat it all over in crumbs. Repeat with the remaining mixture to form about 9 cakes. (At this point, you can refrigerate the salmon cakes for a few hours until ready to cook, if you'd like.)
- Heat the oil in a medium nonstick skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering. Place half of the salmon cakes in the skillet and cook without moving until golden brown, about 2 minutes. Carefully flip the cakes and cook until second side is golden brown, about 2 minutes more. Reduce the heat to medium if the cakes are browning too quickly. Transfer cakes to paper towel-lined plate to drain. Repeat with the remaining cakes (no need to change the oil). Serve warm.
- Note: If buying a skin-on salmon fillet, purchase 1⅓ pounds of fish to yield 1¼ pounds of fish after skinning.
- Make-Ahead: The salmon cakes can be fully cooked and refrigerated up to several hours ahead of time. To reheat: preheat the oven to 350°F and line a baking sheet with aluminum foil. Place the salmon cakes in the oven and cook until crisp on the exterior and warm throughout, 10 to 15 minutes. The cakes may also be frozen for up to 3 months; defrost in the refrigerator before reheating.
- Freezer-Friendly Instructions: The cooked salmon cakes can be frozen for up to 3 months. Once cool, lay them out on one (or more) foil-lined baking sheet(s) and cover them loosely with plastic wrap. Freeze the patties in a single layer for about an hour, then remove them from the freezer. Wrap the cakes individually in plastic wrap and then put them together in a freezer bag or airtight container. Before serving, defrost in the refrigerator before reheating.

SALMON AND DILL BURGERS OR CAKES
Wow! I made these for dinner last night and they were incredible! Simple, delicious, fast and healthy. The recipe comes from Real Simple magazine (June/July 2004), and I made it as written except that after pulverizing the bread (I used whole wheat since we don't "do" white bread in my house), I just added all the other ingredients to the food processor, too. This made it extremely simple. I am sure the fish was ground up more than the recipe intended, but we liked it that way. I cooked this in an indoor George Foreman-type grill, and they took about 6-7 minutes. The magazine suggests serving this on a bun and topping the patty with traditional cole slaw and dressing, but we had them as-is with some seafood sauce (and some steamed asparagus, a salad, and a Frozen Malibu Sunshine drink -- which I also just posted the recipe for). It would work equally well with any of your favorite condiments, and I think it would be awesome over some greens with a citrus vinaigrette or ranch dressing! I plan to make these a lot!!!

Tips:
- Prep before cooking: Before you start cooking, make sure all your ingredients are prepped and measured. This will help you stay organized and make the cooking process smoother.
- Choose the right pan: For pan-frying your salmon burgers, use a non-stick skillet to prevent them from sticking. If you don't have a non-stick skillet, you can grease a regular skillet with cooking spray or oil.
- Cook over medium heat: To ensure that your salmon burgers cook evenly without burning, cook them over medium heat. This will also help prevent them from falling apart.
- Add moisture to the burgers: To keep your salmon burgers moist and flavorful, add a binding agent and a source of moisture to the mixture. Options include eggs, mayonnaise, or Dijon mustard, as well as grated vegetables like carrots or zucchini.
- Don't overmix the burger mixture: Overmixing the salmon burger mixture can make the burgers tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
- Shape the burgers gently: When shaping the salmon burgers, handle them gently to prevent them from breaking apart. Use a light touch and form the burgers into patties about 1 inch thick.
- Cook the burgers until golden brown: Cook the salmon burgers until they are golden brown on both sides. This usually takes about 3-4 minutes per side.
- Serve immediately: Salmon burgers are best served immediately after cooking. You can garnish them with fresh dill, lemon wedges, or tartar sauce.
