1cupcooked beets(6 to 8 oz, cut into small wedges*)
1 to 2radishes(thinly sliced)
2ozfresh goat cheese(crumbled)
2Tbsppistachios(toasted and chopped)
2Tbsppomegranate seeds
1Tbspcapers
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).
