Prepare rice according to package directions.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the salmon, rice, green onions, cilantro, red curry paste, fish sauce, 1 tsp lime juice, and egg. Mix until well combined. Season with salt and pepper. If the mixture feels too wet, add a bit more breadcrumbs to help it hold together.
Using your hands, shape the mixture into patties (about 2-3 inches wide) and place them on a plate. You should get about 8 fish cakes. Spread the breadcrumbs on a plate and gently coat each fish cake with breadcrumbs, pressing lightly to adhere.
In a large skillet, heat about 1/4 inch of vegetable oil over medium heat. Once hot, carefully add the fish cakes in batches, making sure not overcrowd the pan. Cook for about 4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Remove and place on paper towels to drain excess oil.
In a small bowl, whisk together the sweet chili sauce, remaining lime juice, and soy sauce.
Serve warm, accompanied by the dipping sauce.
