While your burger is cooking, toast up your english muffins and layer the bottom half of each with a handful of arugula.

Notes

*Canned salmon usually has some skin and little bones in the mix and they are all perfectly fine to eat (as a matter of fact, the little salmon bones are packed with calcium). Once you begin to mix everything together, the bones break down and you don't even know they are there. If you would like, you can remove any pieces that look too big!
