Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 450F. In a large bowl, combine 1 tbsp olive oil with the vinegar and mustard; set aside.
- Set a heavy ovenproof skillet over medium-high heat and lightly spray or coat with olive oil.
- Season the salmon on both sides with salt.
- When the oil is very hot, add the salmon (skin side down if it’s skin-on) and use your spatula to lightly press it down to help the skin sear.
- Let cook undisturbed for 1 to 2 minutes, until the skin releases easily from the pan and the edges are opaque, then flip and transfer to the oven to finish cooking 2 to 4 minutes, depending on thickness and desired doneness. Set aside.
- Add the arugula and beets to the bowl with the dressing and toss to coat; season to taste with salt.
- Sprinkle in the radishes, goat cheese, pistachios, pomegranate seeds and capers.
- Divide onto two plates and top with the salmon and capers.
Notes
- You can cook the beets by boiling or roasting. I steam-roast mine by preheating the oven to 375F and wrapping the scrubbed, unpeeled beets tightly in foil (season first with a little salt and pepper).
- Bake on a baking sheet for about 1 hour, or until easily pierced with a fork. When the beets are cool enough to handle, you can peel the skins right off (do this under running water to keep them from staining your hands).
