Preheat oven to 450°F. Coat a baking sheet with cooking spray. Heat 1 1/2 teaspoons oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Saute celery and onion until softened. Stir in parsley and remove from heat.
In a medium bowl, flake salmon with a fork, removing any bones and skin. Add egg white and mustard, mix. Mix in sauteed celery and onion, breadcrumbs and pepper. Shape into 8 patties.
Heat remaining 1 1/2 teaspoons oil in the pan over medium heat. Add 4 patties and cook until the bottom sides are golden, 2 to 3 minutes. Using a wide spatula, turn them over onto the prepared baking sheet. Repeat with the remaining patties.
Bake in preheated oven until golden on top and heated through, 15 to 20 minutes. Serve salmon cakes with dill sauce and lemon wedges. Makes 8 servings.
