Directions
1
Make the burgers: Chop salmon into 1/8- to 1/4-inch pieces. Transfer to a bowl with eggs, parsley, green onions, lemon juice, bread crumbs, seafood seasoning, salt, and pepper. Mix together with your hands. Divide into eight equal portions and shape into 1/2-inch thick patties that are 3 1/2 inches in diameter. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes or up to 4 hours.
2
When ready to cook, preheat an outdoor grill for medium heat and lightly oil the grate. Brush patties with oil.
3
Grill patties on the preheated grill, turning carefully, until cooked through, 2 to 3 minutes per side. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 145 degrees F (63 degrees C).
4
Make the sauce: Stir together yogurt, mayonnaise, parsley, green onion, lemon juice, salt, and pepper in a small bowl.
5
Serve burgers on brioche buns with sauce and arugula.
