Stir dill into remaining mayonnaise. Place in small bowl; cover and chill. Salmon Cakes Preheat oven to 400°. Brush salmon with oil. Place salmon in an 8x8" baking dish and bake until flesh is just opaque, about 12 minutes; let cool. DO AHEAD: Salmon can be cooked 1 day ahead. Wrap in plastic and keep chilled. Place potatoes in a medium saucepan; add water to cover by 2 inches and season with salt. Bring to a boil over high heat; reduce heat and simmer until potatoes can be easily pierced to the center with the tip of a knife, 5-10 minutes. Drain potatoes and pass through ricer into a large bowl; set aside. Remove any bones and skin from cooked salmon and discard; place flesh in a medium bowl. Using a fork, gently pull apart fish into large flakes. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper; set aside. Lightly beat egg and egg yolk in a small bowl to blend. Stir egg mixture, dill, scallions, lemon zest, and 1 tsp. salt into reserved potato purée until just combined. Fold in reserved 1/3 cup Dijon mayonnaise and flaked fish. Season to taste with salt and black pepper or red pepper flakes, if desired. Using a 1/3-cup measuring cup, scoop mounds of batter onto prepared baking sheet. Cover loosely with plastic wrap and chill for at least 1 hour and up to 4 hours. Heat a large skillet or a griddle over medium-low heat; coat surface with 1 Tbsp. oil. Shape salmon cakes into 1/2-inch-thick rounds. Working in batches, wiping skillet clean after each batch, and coating skillet with 1 Tbsp. oil each time, cook salmon cakes, gently flipping with a flat spatula halfway through, until lightly browned, about 5 minutes per side. Serve with remaining Dijon mayonnaise alongside.

These salmon cakes were a bit too oily for my taste. I think I should have drained the salmon better before adding it to the mixture.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my salmon cakes fell apart when I tried to flip them. I think I should have cooked them for a little longer on the first side.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my salmon cakes didn't turn out as crispy as I would have liked. I think I should have cooked them for a little longer.

These salmon cakes were a hit! They were easy to make and turned out perfectly golden brown and crispy on the outside, with a moist and flaky inside. The lemon-dill flavor was refreshing and paired well with the homemade Dijon mayonnaise.
