Into a bowl add the chopped salmon, the cooled down veggies, the mayo, zest, breadcrumbs and Djon and a little salt and pepper to taste.
Gently toss well to incorporate ingredients.
Form your salmon cakes into 3x1 inch deep patties. Note: I use a biscuit cutter to form mine as stated in the post.
Refrigerate the salmon cakes for at least 2 or more hours for best results, I would not form and then cook them right away.
When it's time to cook, heat the oven up to 450F.
Drizzle the bottom of an oven proof skillet with olive oil.
Pour some panko breadcrumbs on a flat plate and press the bottom and top of each salmon cake into it then into the heated skillet.
When each cake is lightly golden on each side place the oven proof skillet into the oven and finish it off, anywhere to around 6 or 8 additional minutes, oven vary so you be the judge.
Serve with a squeeze of lemon and tartar sauce, or an aioli of your choice.
NOTE; I had some leftover and the next day I heated them at 350 just until warm and they were still great.
