    Steps
  1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit. Line a baking sheet with foil or parchment paper.
  2. Place salmon fillets on the baking sheet and season with salt and pepper. Drizzle with 2 tablespoons of olive oil and bake for 10-15 minutes or until internal temperature reaches 120 degrees Fahrenheit. Allow it to cool for 5 minutes and roughly flake salmon with a fork.
  3. In a medium bowl, make the yogurt sauce by combining yogurt, chili sauce, sriracha, and lime juice. Set aside in the refrigerator until ready to serve.
  4. In a sauté pan, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil and cook shallots until translucent. Set aside.
  5. In a large bowl, combine flaked salmon, shallot, crackers, yogurt, egg, chives, dill, mustard, lemon zest, and paprika and mix until well combined.
  6. Form salmon into 8 equal size patties about 3-inches in diameter and 1-inch in height. Add the remaining 2 tablespoons of olive oil into a pan and cook patties for about 3 minutes on each side on medium heat. Repeat until all patties are cooked.
  7. Serve immediately with yogurt sauce and top with pickled red onions, chives, and dill.
