Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Mix the salmon, corn, egg, 3 tablespoons each breadcrumbs and tartar sauce, the roasted red peppers, parsley, lemon zest and 3/4 teaspoon Old Bay in a large bowl. Gently form into eight 3/4-inch-thick patties and freeze until just firm, about 5 minutes.

Transfer the skillet to the oven and bake until the cakes are heated through, 6 to 8 more minutes.
