In a large mixing bowl flake the salmon gently, add the other ingredients, and gently toss to combine. Do not over mix the salmon, you want nice big flakes of salmon.
Form into palm-sized patties and pan fry on medium heat until the edges are lightly browned and crispy.
Remove and place on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess olive oil.
Serve on buns with arugula and extra basil pesto or Dijon mustard if desired.
