In a large bowl, combine the salmon, eggs, 1 cup bread crumbs, the onion, parsley, salt and pepper; mix well. Form the mixture into 12 patties about 1/4 inch thick. Place the remaining 1/2 cup bread crumbs in a shallow dish and coat the patties on both sides with the bread crumbs. In a large skillet, heat oil over medium heat, and sauté the patties for 5 to 8 minutes or until golden brown, turning halfway through the cooking. Drain on paper towels, then remove to a serving platter and serve immediately.
