Ingredients

• 3 tablespoons honey
• 3/4 teaspoon lemon peel
• 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
• 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon hot water
• 16 ounces salmon fillets
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 3 cups arugula

Preparation

1. Place honey, grated lemon peel, ground pepper, garlic powder and hot water in a small bowl and whisk until blended. With gloved hands, rub mixture over salmon fillets.
2. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add spice-rubbed salmon fillets and cook 4 minutes. Carefully turn fillets with a spatula.
3. Reduce heat to medium-low and cook an additional 4 to 6 minutes, until fish turns opaque throughout and flakes easily when tested with a fork.
4. Arrange 1/2-cup arugula on each plate. Place salmon fillet on top of arugula and serve.
