Ingredients
2 tablespoons dry mustard
3 tablespoons brown sugar
1/2 teaspoon soy sauce
3 tablespoons olive oil
4 salmon fillets, about 6 ounces each
Salt and freshly ground pepper
1/2 bunch arugula, leaves slightly wet
4 slices sourdough bread, crust trimmed

1. Combine mustard and sugar in a bowl. Stir in 1 1/2 tablespoons water. Add soy sauce and 1 teaspoon oil. Set aside.
2. Heat a grill or grill pan until very hot. Brush salmon with remaining oil; season with salt and pepper, and cover. Grill for 5 minutes, or until browned. Turn and cook for another 5 minutes, or to desired doneness.
3. Heat a small skillet over medium heat and add arugula. Season with salt and pepper, and cover. Cook until wilted, tossing leaves occasionally, about 2 minutes.
4. Toast bread and place on plates. Top each with wilted arugula and salmon fillet. Drizzle the mustard sauce over top. Serve immediately.
