Ingredients
| 12 small new or fingerling potatoes, halved | 2 teaspoons salt, divided |
| 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil, divided | 1 teaspoon curry powder |
| Salt and pepper to taste | 1/2 teaspoon cayenne |
| 2 pounds boneless, skinless salmon filet* | 1/2 teaspoon sugar |
| 2 large shallots, diced finely | 2 cups plain organic Greek yogurt |
| 2 teaspoons cider vinegar | 6 cups arugula |
Directions
Preheat oven to 350°F. Toss potatoes in 1 tablespoon of olive oil, some salt, and pepper. Place in a roasting dish and cook for 20 minutes until tender. Cut salmon filet into 6 even-sized pieces and rub with remaining olive oil, salt, and pepper.
Spray non-stick skillet with cooking spray and heat to medium-high. Sear salmon on each side for 2 minutes. Transfer to baking sheet. Bake in the oven with potatoes for 5 minutes or to desired doneness (medium to medium rare is best). If you prefer well done, cook for 8 minutes.
In a small bowl, combine shallots, cider vinegar, salt, curry, cayenne, sugar, and yogurt.
Divide arugula evenly between 6 plates. Place a piece of salmon and two potatoes over arugula and drizzle generously with yogurt curry mixture. Makes 6 servings.
