SUMMER SALMON AND SLAW SALAD

Steps:

• Combine cabbage and peppers in large bowl. Combine dressing ingredients and whisk to blend. Pour three fourths of dressing over slaw mixture and set aside in refrigerator. Stir together mustard, pepper sauce, cumin and black pepper and rub over flesh side of salmon (if salmon is skinless, rub on both sides.) Preheat very heavy skillet over high heat. Add olive oil to pan, and add salmon, seasoned side down. Sear for about 10 minutes. Turn salmon over, turn heat down to low-medium and cover pan. Continue to cook until salmon is cooked throughout and begins to flake. (10 to 15 minutes) Remove skin, and set salmon aside to cool to room temperature. To serve, divide slaw mixture on four individual plates and place chunks of salmon on top. Drizzle salmon with remaining dressing.
