Heat cast iron skillet over medium heat. Cover bottom with olive oil.
Put 1 cup of the breadcrumbs in a shallow dish and set aside.
Add salmon, eggs, and remaining 1/2 cup of breadcrumbs to the mixing bowl. Salt and pepper to taste. Mix well until combined using a large spoon or your hand.
Using your hands, take about 1/4 cup of the salmon mixture and form into a small patty.
Tranfer to shallow dish and cover with breadcrumbs.
Place gently in the skillet and cook for several minutes until lightly browned on one side.
Very carefully flip the cakes over and cook for another minute or two until lightly browned on the other side.
Tranfer to a serving dish and enjoy right away!
Notes
Store leftover salmon cakes in an airtight container in the fridge for up to three days. Reheat in a hot cast iron skillet until warm.
