Soy and Ginger-Marinated Salmon

 Ingredients:

• 2 tbsp. unseasoned rice wine vinegar
• 1 tbsp. reduced-sodium soy sauce
• 1 tbsp. packed brown sugar
• 1 tbsp. grated peeled fresh ginger
• 1 garlic clove, minced
• 2 tsp. Asian (dark) sesame oil
• 1 (1 lb.) skinless salmon fillet, cut crosswise into 8 strips
• 4 cups lightly packed baby arugula
• 2 tbsp. chopped fresh chives
• 1 tbsp. black sesame seeds

Makes 4 Servings (1 cup salad & 2 salmon strips per serving)

1. To make the marinade, combine the vinegar, soy sauce, brown sugar, ginger, garlic and 1 teaspoon of the sesame oil in a large bowl. Transfer 2 tablespoons of the mixture to a medium bowl and add the salmon, turning to coat; let marinate about 5 minutes. 
2. Heat the remaining 1 teaspoon sesame oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the salmon and cook until just opaque in the center, about 2 minutes on each side. 
3. Add the arugula to the remaining vinegar mixture and toss to coat. Divide the arugula evenly among 4 plates. Top each serving with 2 salmon strips  and sprinkle with 1/2 tablespoon of the chives and 3/4 teaspoon of the sesame seeds.
