Ask for salmon fillets from the head end of the fish--the tail end is much thinner.

The salad had good flavor and it was easy to pull together, but this wouldn’t be something I’d make again.

I served this like a salad with the grilled salmon on top. Hubby initially turned his nose up at the arugula but afterward admitted it was better than expected. He'd probably still prefer a different type of greens when I make it again in the future.

Great recipe! Put some of the dressing on top of the grilled salmon before serving.

Great meal. My capers were expired, had to use green olives; still delicious.

Great meal! Loved the flavors, how easily it all came together and how it looked on the plate. I didn't have great northern beans; subbed cannellini beans instead. The simple dressing with lemon was delish on the beans and over the salmon and arugula. Kids had tacos. Happy I made the four servings so that I can have it again tomorrow for lunch! Try it!
