Instructions
- Start with the sauce. Blend arugula, garlic, lemon juice, Parmesan, and 1 tablespoon of the olive oil until loose and spoonable. Season lightly with salt.
- Pat the salmon dry and season both sides with salt and pepper.
- Heat the remaining olive oil in a pan over medium heat.
- Place the salmon in the pan and cook until a golden crust forms, then turn and finish gently.
- Rest the salmon briefly, then spoon the arugula sauce over the top just before serving.
Serving ideas (lunchbox-friendly)
- Cold salmon flakes beautifully into grain bowls with leftover sauce.
- Add it to a sandwich with bread and tomatoes the next day.
- Toss chunks into warm pasta instead of reheating the fillet whole.
