Ingredients

SALMON
12 ounces wild Pacific salmon filets
1 cup young arugula leaves
1 lemon cut in wedges
TARRAGON AIOLI
1/4 cup fresh tarragon leaves
1 egg beaten
2 tablespoons lemon juice
1/4 teaspoon seasoned salt
1/4 teaspoon yellow mustard seeds powdered
1 cup organic extra virgin olive oil

Directions:

1. Wash and pat salmon fillets dry.
2. Using as little oil as possible, rub it on a nonstick pan to coat. Remove any excess.
3. Heat pan just until it barely begins to smoke. Watch carefully, because smoking means the oil is breaking down and will not taste the same.
4. Place salmon flesh-side down in pan and brown 5 minutes.
5. Turn salmon over onto skinside and brown an additional 5 to 7 minutes, depending on thickness of fillets. Salmon should be cooked through, but still firm. Do not overcook!
6. Immediately place on a bed of arugula and top with 1 tablespoon of tarragon aioli. Serve lemon wedges on side.

AIOLI DIRECTIONS
1. Choose 4 large sprigs of tarragon. Wash carefully and pat dry. Remove leaves and chop coarsely. Set aside.
2. Place egg, lemon juice, salt, and powdered mustard seed into blender and cover.
3. Turn blender to speed 4 or “beat” speed.
4. After 5 seconds, remove center section from cover of blender and slowly pour oil into the container while blades are rotating.
5. Stop motor and use a spatula, if needed, to blend the last of the oil into the mixture. All oil should be completely blended into a creamy mixture.
6. Add chopped tarragon and blend in just until tarragon is completely mixed in.

Super Salad : Belgian endive, purple radicchio, mango, pineapple, blueberries, and shredded coconut with raspberry vinaigrette

Suggestion : Use leftover aioli on broccoli or other steamed vebetables, on poached eggs, chicken or fish.
