Salmon cakes are a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. They are made with simple, everyday ingredients, including canned or leftover salmon, mashed potatoes, eggs, and breadcrumbs. The cakes are pan-fried until golden brown and crispy, then served with a variety of sauces, such as tartar sauce, remoulade, or a tangy orange sauce. Salmon cakes are a great way to use up leftover salmon, and they are also a budget-friendly meal. Plus, they are a good source of protein, omega-3 fatty acids, and other essential nutrients. With so much to offer, it's no wonder that salmon cakes are a popular dish around the world.

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.

Tips:

- Don't overcrowd the skillet: Leave some space between the salmon cakes so that they can cook evenly.
- Serve the salmon cakes with your favorite dipping sauce: The orange sauce included in this recipe is a great option, but you could also use tartar sauce, cocktail sauce, or remoulade.

Salmon cakes are a delicious and easy-to-make meal that can be enjoyed for breakfast, lunch, or dinner.
