• 1/4 cup breadcrumbs
• 1/4 cup finely chopped red onion
• 1/4 cup finely chopped red bell pepper
• 1/4 cup finely chopped fresh parsley
• 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
• 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice
• 1 teaspoon Old Bay seasoning
• Salt and pepper to taste

For the lemon dill sauce:

• 1/2 cup mayonnaise
• 1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lemon juice
• 1 tablespoon chopped fresh dill
• Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions:

1. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. Season the salmon fillets with salt and pepper and place them on the baking sheet. Bake for about 15-20 minutes or until the salmon is cooked through, then remove from the oven and let it cool.
3. Once the salmon has cooled, flake it into a large bowl. Make sure to remove any skin or bones.
4. To the flaked salmon, add the breadcrumbs, chopped red onion, red bell pepper, parsley, mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, lemon juice, Old Bay seasoning, salt, and pepper. Mix everything together until well combined.
5. Shape the salmon mixture into patties and place them on the prepared baking sheet. Bake for 10-12 minutes or until the cakes are golden brown and crispy.
6. While the salmon cakes are baking, prepare the lemon dill sauce. In a small bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, lemon juice, chopped dill, salt, and pepper until well combined.
7. Once the salmon cakes are done, serve them hot with a dollop of the lemon dill sauce on top. Garnish with extra chopped dill and lemon wedges for an extra touch of freshness.
