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 CAKES
A few ingredients from your pantry and fridge are all you need to whip up an impressive salmon cake that can be served with salads or placed atop a toasted bun. Canned salmon may not be synonymous with high-end fare, but with the right flavor combinations and cooking method, you can transform this grocery store staple into a delicious dish. This salmon recipe calls for everyday ingredients you likely have in your pantry (canned salmon, breadcrumbs, red onion, lemon juice, Worcestershire sauce) and fridge (eggs, mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, celery) to create a sophisticated meal that you can whip up on a weeknight for an impressive and healthy dinner. Salmon cakes will also keep in the fridge for several days, so you can make a batch on the weekend to take to lunch during the work week. A good recipe for salmon cakes calls for salty, tangy, spicy, and fresh ingredients that complement the rich savoriness of salmon. Salmon is buttery with a hint of sweetness, which is complemented by the brightness of lemon juice and the depth of browning in a skillet. While salmon cakes are inherently different from a traditionally prepared filet, the same principles apply: layering different flavors to accompany and complement the taste of the fish. Aside from the salmon itself, these cakes get their structure from the incorporation of breadcrumbs and eggs. Our recipe builds this base of flavor by first sautéing red onion and celery until they caramelize, which lends a subtle sweetness to their earthiness. Mayonnaise is used to offer tang, richness, and moisture, and lemon juice brightens the mixture. Finely chopped herbs (dill and parsley) are stirred in, further freshening the salmon cakes with the vibrancy that typically goes into some of our favorite preparations of salmon. Dijon mustard and Worcestershire sauce are thrown into the mix to contribute mouth-smacking savory flavor, and a small amount of vinegary hot sauce gives the slightest touch of heat. Dress these salmon cakes up on a bun with some pickled onions, tomato, and tartar sauce. Enjoy them with a salad of fresh lettuces and herbs. Requiring little more than half an hour to prepare, this recipe may become your new weeknight dinner favorite.

Steps:
- Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium. Sauté onion and celery until very soft and browned, about 12 minutes. Set aside to cool.
- In a large mixing bowl, stir together salmon, breadcrumbs, eggs, mayonnaise, lemon juice, dill, parsley, Dijon mustard, Worcestershire sauce, and hot sauce until mixture is well combined. Season with salt and pepper, and add sautéed onion and celery to mixture; stir to combine.
- Prepare a plate by covering it in several layers of paper towels; set aside. In a clean skillet, heat additional oil to lightly coat the bottom of the skillet over medium-high heat. Separate the mixture into 1/3 cup portions and shape each portion into a 3/4-inch-thick round patty. Place patties in hot oil over medium heat, cooking no more than 3 at a time, for 3 or 4 minutes on each side, until the outside is evenly browned and the patty is cooked through. Transfer cooked patties to paper towel-lined plate. Add more oil to skillet if necessary and repeat cooking process until all patties are prepared.

Tips:
- Choose the right salmon. Fresh or frozen salmon can be used for this recipe, but fresh salmon will yield the best results. If using frozen salmon, thaw it completely before cooking.
- Flake the salmon gently. Over-flaking the salmon will make the cakes dry and crumbly. Use a fork to gently flake the salmon into small pieces.
- Use panko breadcrumbs. Panko breadcrumbs are lighter and crispier than regular breadcrumbs, which makes them ideal for salmon cakes. If you don't have panko breadcrumbs, you can use regular breadcrumbs, but the cakes may be less crispy.
- Don't overmix the salmon cake mixture. Overmixing will make the cakes tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
- Cook the salmon cakes over medium heat. Cooking the salmon cakes over medium heat will help them cook evenly without burning.
- Serve the salmon cakes with your favorite dipping sauce. Tartar sauce, ranch dressing, or lemon wedges are all popular choices.

Salmon cakes are a delicious and versatile dish that can be served for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. They are easy to make and can be customized to your liking.
