    Method: 

    In a large bowl, break up salmon into small pieces, discarding any pieces of bone or skin. Gently fold in 2/3 cup breadcrumbs, seasoning, pepper, onions, parsley, salt and pepper, mayonnaise and egg until combined and then shape into 12 small patties. (Salmon patties can be made up to a day in advance. If you're not cooking them immediately, transfer to a large plate, cover and refrigerate.)

    Transfer remaining 1 cup breadcrumbs to a wide, shallow dish. Gently coat each patty in breadcrumbs, shaking off any excess, and transfer to a large plate. Heat 2 tablespoons of the oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Arrange 6 of the patties in the skillet in a single layer and cook, gently flipping once, until deep golden brown all over, 2 to 3 minutes per side. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate as done and then heat remaining oil in skillet and repeat process with remaining patties. Serve salmon cakes hot, with lemon wedges on the side.
