Baby arugula is sold prepackaged in markets. It has a clean, sharp flavor.
Ingredients:
2 center-cut salmon fillets (6 oz. each)
1 1/2 tbsp fresh lemon juice
1 1/2 tbsp olive oil
salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
3 cups baby arugula leaves
2/3 cup grape or cherry tomatoes, halved
1/4 cup thinly slivered red onion
salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
1 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil
1 tbsp red-wine vinegar
Directions:
1. 1. Place the salmon fillets in a shallow bowl. Toss well with lemon juice, olive oil, salt and pepper. Let rest for 15 minutes.
2. 2. Cook the salmon, skinside down in a nonstick skillet over medium-high heat for 2 to 3 minutes, shaking the pan and carefully lifting the salmon with a spatula to loosen it from the pan.
3. 3. Reduce the heat to medium. Cover the pan and cook until the salmon is cooked through, 3 to 4 minutes more. The skin should be crisp and the flesh medium rare.
4. 4. Meanwhile, combine the arugula, tomatoes and onion in a bowl. Just before serving, season with salt and pepper and drizzle with oil and vinegar. Toss well.
