Steps:
- Squeeze the lemon juice into a measuring cup. Add the dijon, parsley, salt, and pepper. Slowly drizzle in the olive oil, whisking constantly. Set aside. This makes not quite 3/4 cup of vinaigrette.
- In a large non-stick skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium-high heat.
- Season the salmon with salt and pepper. Add the salmon skin-side down to the pan and cook 3-4 minutes. Turn the fillets over and cook another 3-4 minutes until they are no longer translucent but still moist in the center.
- Place about 1 1/2 cups of spring salad mix and a few grape tomatoes on a plate, top it with a piece of salmon. Drizzle with the desired amount of dressing and serve.

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.

Steps:
- 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. 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. 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. 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.
Tips:
- Choose the freshest ingredients: High-quality salmon and arugula are essential for a delicious salad. Look for salmon that is firm and has a bright pink color. Arugula should be crisp and have a peppery flavor.
- Properly cook the salmon: Overcooked salmon will be dry and tough. Cook the salmon until it is just opaque in the center, about 4-5 minutes per side.
- Make the dressing ahead of time: The dressing can be made up to 2 days in advance. This will allow the flavors to meld and develop.
- Toss the salad gently: Over-tossing the salad will wilt the arugula. Toss the salad gently until the dressing is evenly distributed.
- Serve immediately: This salad is best served immediately after it is made. The arugula will start to wilt if the salad sits for too long.
Conclusion:
This salmon and arugula salad with Dijon vinaigrette is a light and refreshing dish that is perfect for summer. The salmon is cooked to perfection and the arugula is crisp and peppery. The Dijon vinaigrette adds a tangy and flavorful dressing that brings all the ingredients together. This salad is sure to be a hit at your next party or gathering.
