Heat a non-stick pan until hot and place the salmon in the pan to cook.

While the salmon is cooking, prepare the salad dressing by mixing lemon juice, mustard, and olive oil with a little salt.

In a bowl, add arugula and toss it with the dressing.

Check the salmon for doneness and ensure it is crispy.
