  • Combine mayonnaise, roasted red peppers and grated garlic in a small bowl and stir well. Transfer 1/4 cup of the aioli to a large bowl and set the rest aside. Stir salmon, chives and the remaining 1 tablespoon dill into the aioli in the large bowl. Form the mixture into 4 patties about 4 inches in diameter.

  • Heat oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the patties and cook, flipping once, until golden and an instant-read thermometer inserted in the center registers 145°F, 6 to 8 minutes total.

  • Drain the pickles. Serve the burgers on buns with arugula, the remaining aioli and the pickles.
