INGREDIENTS

4 (5–6 ounces each) salmon fillets, preferably wild-caught

salt and pepper, to taste

⅓ cup plus 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil, divided

4 cups baby arugula

2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice 

1 ripe avocado, pitted and cut into ½-inch cubes

INSTRUCTIONS

PRESS salmon fillets between paper towels to dry surfaces thoroughly. Season on all sides with salt and pepper. 

HEAT ⅓ cup oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering. Add salmon fillets skin-side down. Immediately reduce heat to medium-low. Cook, pressing gently on back of fillets to ensure good contact with skin, until skin is rendered and crisp, about 6 minutes. If skin sticks to the pan when attempting to lift with a spatula, allow it to continue to cook until it lifts easily.

MEANWHILE, in a large bowl, combine arugula, lemon juice, remaining 3 tablespoons olive oil, and avocado. Season with salt and pepper.

FLIP salmon and cook on second side until a thermometer inserted into the thickest part registers 120°F for medium rare or 130°F for medium, about 1 minute longer. Transfer salmon to a paper towel-lined plate. Spoon salad onto plates, top with salmon, and serve.

ENJOY!
