Poached Salmon on Citrus Salad

I make this salmon at work, it is super easy and they seem to love it.

1 lime
6 oranges
4 (4oz) skinless salmon fillets, about 1 inch thick
1/4 cup olive oil
1 tsp sugar
2 Tbs. cooking oil
6 wonton wrappers, cut 1/2-inch thick strips
4 cups arugula or baby spinach

1. Finely shred 1 teaspoon peel from lime; set aside.  Juice lime and 2 oranges; reserve 1/4 cup juice for dressing.  Pour remaining in large nonstick skillet with lime peel and 1/2 cup water.  Bring to a boil; add salmon.  Reduce heat.  Simmer, covered, 8 to 12 minutes, until fish easily flakes with fork.
2. Meanwhile, for dressing, in bowl whisk together reserved juice, olive oil, and sugar; season with salt and pepper.
3. In a second large skillet heat cooking oil over medium-high.  Cook wontons, 1 to 2 minutes, stirring often, until crisp.
4. Peel and section remaining oranges.  Drizzle dressing on greens, oranges, and salmon.  Pass wontons.

I didn't make the wontons to go with this recipe, but I'm sure they are probably good with it.
