Salmon Cakes

• 1 1/4 Lb. salmon filet
• 1 slice white sandwich bread, crusts removed and chopped very fine (about 5 tablespoons)
• 2 Tbsp. mayonnaise
• 1/4 C. grated onion
• 2 Tbsp. chopped fresh parsley leaves
• 3/4 tsp. salt
• 1/8 tsp. pepper
• 1-1/2 Tbsp. fresh lemon juice
• 1/2 C. unbleached all-purpose flour
• 2 large eggs , lightly beaten
• 1/2 C. vegetable oil , plus 1-1/2 tsp. vegetable oil
• 1-1/2 tsp. water
• 3/4 C. fine, unflavored dried bread crumbs, preferably panko
• 3/4 tsp. cajun spice powder

1. Using sharp knife, cut flesh off skin, then discard skin. Chop salmon flesh into 1/4- to 1/3-inch pieces and mix with chopped bread, mayonnaise, onion, parsley, salt, pepper and lemon juice in medium bowl. Scoop a generous 1/4-cup portion salmon mixture from bowl and use hands to form into a patty measuring roughly 2 1/2-inches in diameter and 3/4-inch thick; place on parchment-lined baking sheet and repeat with remaining salmon mixture until you have 8 patties. Place patties in freezer until surface moisture has evaporated, about 15 minutes.
2. Meanwhile, spread flour in pie plate or shallow baking dish. Beat eggs with 1 1/2 teaspoons vegetable oil and 1 1/2 teaspoons water in second pie plate or shallow baking dish, and bread crumbs with cajun spice in a third.
3. Dip chilled salmon patties in flour to cover; shake off excess. Transfer to beaten egg and, using slotted spatula, turn to coat; let excess drip off. Transfer to bread crumbs; shake pan to coat patties completely. Return now-breaded patties to baking sheet.
4. Heat remaining 1/2 cup vegetable oil in large, heavy-bottomed skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering but not smoking, about 3 minutes; add salmon patties and cook until medium golden brown, about 2 minutes. Flip cakes over and continue cooking until medium golden brown on second side, about 2 minutes longer. Transfer cakes to plate lined with paper towels to absorb excess oil on surface, if desired, about 30 seconds, and then serve immediately with home-made tartar sauce.
