Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• Place the salmon on a sheet pan, skin side down. Brush with olive oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Roast for 15 to 20 minutes, until just cooked. Remove from the oven and cover tightly with aluminum foil. Allow to rest for 10 minutes and refrigerate until cold.

• Flake the chilled salmon into a large bowl. Add the bread crumbs, mayonnaise, mustard, and eggs. Add the vegetable mixture and mix well. Cover and chill in the refrigerator for 30 minutes. Shape into 10 (2 1/2 to 3-ounce) cakes.
• Heat the remaining 2 tablespoons butter and 2 tablespoons olive oil in a large saute pan over medium heat. In batches, add the salmon cakes and fry for 3 to 4 minutes on each side, until browned. Drain on paper towels; keep them warm in a preheated 250 degree F oven and serve hot.

Bake in preheated oven for 10-15 minutes, or until it registers 130ºF (see note). Remove from oven and allow to cool slightly. Flip the fillet over and scrape off the skin. Discard.Place skinned salmon in a large bowl and crumble it with your fingers. Add remaining ingredients except remaining avocado oil. Mix very well with your hands. Form into patties about 2 to 2 ½ inches across. You should get about 12 to 14 patties. If the patties won't hold together, you can always add more mayonnaise. Preheat a large cast iron skillet over medium heat. Add 2 tablespoons of avocado oil and wait for it to get hot. Fry half of the patties until deep golden on each side and cooked through, about 3-4 minutes per side. Remove to a paper towel lined plate. Add more oil if necessary, and fry remaining patties as before. Serve immediately with the mango salsa and hot rice.Notes:• It's better to slightly under bake the salmon since it will get cooked more when you fry the patties. • Recipe for the patties adapted from Natasha's Kitchen.

• If using canned salmon, drain and pick over carefully to remove dark cartilage and bones. Finely chop the onion. Using a fork, flake the salmon and then combine in a medium bowl with the onion, egg, bread crumbs, Worcestershire sauce, hot sauce, black pepper, cheese and parsley. Using about 1/3 cup salmon mixture for each cake, shape the mixture into rounds, about 1/2-inch thick. Sprinkle the flour on a plate or board. Dredge the patties in the flour, coating well, but dusting off excess flour. Place the patties in the refrigerator and let set for 30 minutes or longer. Heat the butter or margarine in a large skillet until foamy and hot. Add the patties and brown on both sides, cooking about 5 minutes. Remove the salmon cakes from the pan and drain on paper towels. Serve warm, with lemon wedges.
