Steps:

• Set aside on a dish to cool.
• Add the olive oil to the pan, then add the the onion, celery, red and yellow bell peppers, parsley, capers, hot sauce, Old Bay seasoning, 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt, and 1/2 teaspoon pepper in a large saute pan over medium-low heat and cook until the vegetables are soft, approximately 18 to 20 minutes.
• Set aside to cool to room temperature.
• Flake the salmon into a large bowl.
• Add the bread crumbs, mayonnaise, yogurt, mustard, and eggs.

• Cover and chill in the refrigerator for 30 minutes, this will make them easier to shape and become less sticky.
• Preheat oven to 400°F.
• Spray a non-stick baking sheet with cooking spray.
• Shape the batter into 15 (scant 1/4 cup each) cakes and place on prepared baking sheet.
• Bake about 10 to 12 minutes on each side, or until golden brown.

Steps:

• Heat a large, heavy skillet with 1 inch of frying oil over moderate heat.
• Flake the cooked cooled salmon with a fork. Add cracker meal to the bowl and work through the fish with your hands. Add the eggs, seasoning, pepper, chives, dill, pepper sauce, and the zest of one lemon to the bowl. Combine the ingredients well with your hands. If the mixture is a little wet, add a bit more cracker meal. Form 3-inch patties of salmon cakes 1-inch thick. You should yield 8 to 10 cakes. Fry cakes until golden in a single layer 3 or 4 minutes on each side. Drain on paper towel lined plate.
• Toss salad greens with coarse salt and the juice of the lemon you zested. Drizzle the greens with a little extra-virgin olive oil and re-toss the salad to coat.
• Combine mayonnaise, chili sauce and relish in a small dish. To serve, place salmon cakes on a bed of baby greens, 2 cakes per person and top with chili mayonnaise sauce.
