As much as I love a sandwich stuffed with a million different elements, it's sometimes nice to have a simple sandwich, one that highlights the flavors of a single star ingredient. For tonight's dinner why not make that sort of sandwich with a luscious piece of salmon as the starring flavor? The salmon is quickly grilled or pan-fried and topped with a mustard soy sauce. Arugula adds a peppery crunch, but if you don't like the taste of this leafy green, substitute spinach. To get the recipe to this sandwich that comes together in minutes,
