I think a lot of Mages can go toe to toe with him pre-6 because they can usually get off their ability before the silence lands so any harass usually ends up pretty even. After 6 though, there really isn't much a Mage can do in lane other than get help from the jungle.

Kassadin can Rift Walk in and unload a combo and you will be silenced the whole time unable to retaliate. He can't do this too many times unless he has blue buff, so I would just be aware of his mana.
