Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F. Combine 1/4 cup cold water, 1 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper in a small baking dish. Pierce the pork chops all over with a fork; add to the brine. Let sit, flipping once, 10 minutes.
- Meanwhile, whisk the mayonnaise, Worcestershire sauce and honey mustard in a shallow dish. Combine the crushed croutons and parmesan in another shallow dish. Put the flour on a plate.
- Remove the pork from the brine; pat dry. Dredge in the flour, then the mayonnaise mixture, and then the crouton mixture, pressing to coat. Transfer to a rack set on a baking sheet. Bake until golden and cooked through, about 20 minutes.
- Slice off the top and bottom of 3 oranges with a paring knife, then cut off the peel and pith. Slice into rounds, discard any seeds and transfer to a large bowl. Squeeze the juice of the remaining 2 oranges into the bowl.
- Cut the pork chops into 1/2-inch pieces. Add the pork, arugula, onion and olive oil to the bowl; toss. Season with salt and pepper.

ARUGULA SALAD WITH CITRUS VINAIGRETTE
Arugula is a delicious alternative to lettuce, and the citrus juice dressing is a delicious alternative to heavier store bought dressings. A lovely precursor to most meals, or a great stand-alone in the summer. Garnish with walnuts or sunflower seeds, if you like.

SEARED SALMON WITH CITRUS AND ARUGULA SALAD
Bursting with color and bright, bold flavors, this simple recipe makes an elegant main course for a dinner party, or a welcome diversion from your go-to weeknight salmon. The technique of cooking salmon in a cast-iron skillet creates a beautifully golden-brown sear and crispy skin. For best results, make this recipe during the cold weather months, when citrus fruit is at its best.

Steps:
- Make the glaze for the salmon: In a small bowl, whisk 2 tablespoons olive oil with the orange juice, mustard, half the chopped garlic and 1/4 teaspoon salt. Set aside.
- Make the salad dressing: In another small bowl, whisk together 2 tablespoons olive oil with the lemon juice, 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper. Stir in the shallots and the remaining garlic, then set aside.
- Using a small serrated knife, peel the grapefruit and oranges and trim to remove any remaining pith. Slice all the peeled fruit crosswise into thin circles (no larger than 1/2-inch thick); remove the seeds and set aside.
- Heat a 12-inch cast-iron or heavy stainless-steel skillet over medium-high until it's extremely hot (a drop of water flicked onto the pan should turn to steam almost immediately), about 3 minutes. Meanwhile, pat the salmon fillets dry using paper towels, brush both sides with olive oil, and season all over with salt and pepper.
- When the pan is ready, cook the salmon fillets skin-side down over medium-high without moving until the salmon skin releases easily from the pan, 3 to 4 minutes. Using a pair of tongs or a spatula, wiggle the fillets to loosen the skin from the bottom of the pan, then carefully flip. Lower the heat to medium and cook until the salmon is cooked through but still slightly rare in the center, 4 to 5 more minutes, depending on the thickness of the fillets.
- Transfer to a rimmed plate or serving dish, and brush the glaze all over the salmon, making sure to coat the fillets.
- Combine the arugula and fennel in a large bowl. Pour the dressing over the salad and toss well. Add the avocado, citrus rounds and pistachios, and toss gently. Transfer to a shallow serving bowl or platter and serve alongside the salmon.
Tips:
- Choose fresh and flavorful citrus fruits. This is the key to making a great citrus dressing. Look for oranges, grapefruits, lemons, and limes that are heavy for their size and have smooth, unblemished skin.
- Use a microplane grater to zest the citrus fruits. This will release the essential oils from the peel, which will give your dressing a bright, citrusy flavor.
- Taste the dressing before serving. You may need to adjust the amount of citrus juice, honey, or olive oil to suit your taste.
- Serve the dressing immediately. Citrus dressings are best when they are fresh. If you need to make it ahead of time, store it in a covered container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
- Use the dressing on a variety of salads. Citrus dressings are great on arugula, spinach, kale, and mixed greens. You can also use them on grilled chicken, fish, or shrimp.
Conclusion:
Citrus dressings are a refreshing and flavorful way to dress up your salads. They are easy to make and can be used on a variety of greens and proteins. With a few simple ingredients, you can create a delicious citrus dressing that will brighten up your next meal.
