- Dust the skin side of each salmon filet with flour. In a non-stick pan on medium-low heat, add vegetable oil and place salmon filets skin side down on the pan.
- Generously spoon mustard sauce on salmon filets. Cover pan and let salmon cook for 7-10 minutes, until salmon reaches an internal temperature of 145°F. Do not flip the salmon.
- While the salmon is cooking, blister cherry tomatoes in a greased frying pan on high heat for 2-5 minutes.
- Plate in the following order:
1 Cup Cooked Wild Rice
3 Blistered Cherry Tomatoes
1 Cooked Salmon Filet
1/4 Cup Crispy Red Onion
1 Honeycomb
