1 pinch crushed red pepper flakes

Directions
For the Potatoes
Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
On a rimmed baking sheet, toss the potatoes with two tablespoons of olive oil. Season with salt and black pepper. Roast for 20 minutes, or until tender.
For the Salmon
Place the salmon on a plate and rub with the oregano, paprika, orange zest, lemon zest, crushed red pepper flakes, and a pinch each of salt and pepper.
Drizzle with two tablespoons of olive oil, rubbing the seasonings evenly into each filet.
Remove the potatoes from the oven and push them to one side of the pan. Put the salmon on the other side.
Arrange the shallots and orange slices around the salmon. Drizzle over one tablespoon of olive oil.
Return the pan to the oven and roast for 10 to 20 minutes more, until the salmon reaches desired doneness.
For the Arugula
Toss the arugula with the remaining one tablespoon olive oil, the sesame seeds, and a pinch of salt.
To Serve
Add a handful of arugula to each plate and then divide the salmon and potatoes between plates. Enjoy!
