  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.
