Remove 1 t. zest and squeeze 4 t. juice from the lemon; set aside.
Add oats to a food processor; cover; process until ground. Stir them with 1 t. lemon juice, 1/4 c. bread crumbs, onion, celery, mayo, egg, dill, mustard, and pepper in a large bowl. Add crab and salmon; stir gently just until combined. DON'T overmix.
Place the remaining 1/2 c. bread crumbs in a shallow dish. Shape the crab mixture into 8 patties. Carefully dip the patties into the bread crumbs, turning to coat.
Heat 2 t. olive oil over medium heat in a 10" skillet. Add half of the crab cakes; cook 6 minutes or until golden, turning once. Remove from the skillet; keep warm. Repeat with another 2 t. olive oil and the remaining crab cakes.
Whisk together the remaining 1 T. lemon juice and remaining 2 t. olive oil in a large bowl; add arugula; toss to coat.
Combine the reserved lemon zest, yogurt, chives, milk, and salt in a small bowl.
Serve the crab cakes on a bed of arugula, topped with the yogurt mixture.
