Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and lightly grease it with olive oil.
In a large mixing bowl, add the drained salmon, breaking it apart with a fork to remove any large chunks. Discard any large bones or skin if preferred.
Add the panko breadcrumbs, mayonnaise, egg, Dijon mustard, parsley, green onion, lemon juice, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper to the bowl. Mix everything thoroughly until well combined.
Using your hands or a 1/3 measuring cup for uniformity, shape the mixture into 8 patties. Place them evenly spaced on the prepared baking sheet.
Bake the salmon cakes in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through. No flipping is necessary.
Remove the salmon cakes from the oven and let them cool for 2-3 minutes before serving.
Serve warm with your favorite dipping sauce, a side salad, or roasted vegetables.
