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 WHITEFISH CAKES (WITH HORSERADISH CUCUMBER SAUCE)
The combination of salmon and whitefish is delicious (and pretty). The recipe is from Diane Rossen Worthington and was published in Bon Appétit Magazine (April 2008) and is a great alternative to traditional gefilte fish. If you are preparing the accompanying sauce add the horseradish a little bit at a time as just a little goes a long way.

Tips:
- Choose the right salmon. Fresh, wild-caught salmon is the best choice for salmon cakes, as it has a more flavorful and firm texture. Avoid using farmed salmon, as it can be mushy and bland.
- Don't overcook the salmon. Overcooked salmon will be dry and tough. Cook it just until it is opaque in the center, about 5 minutes per side.
- Use a variety of vegetables in your salmon cakes. This will add flavor and texture. Some good choices include onions, celery, carrots, and bell peppers.
- Bind the salmon cakes together with eggs and breadcrumbs. This will help them hold their shape and prevent them from falling apart.
- Season the salmon cakes generously. Use a combination of salt, pepper, and other spices, such as dill, thyme, and lemon zest.
- Pan-fry the salmon cakes until they are golden brown and crispy. This will create a delicious crust and help to keep the salmon cakes moist.
- Serve the salmon cakes with a variety of dipping sauces. Some good choices include tartar sauce, remoulade sauce, and cucumber sauce.
Conclusion:
