  • 2 Tablespoons wholegrain seeded mustard
  • ¼ Cup chopped dill

METHOD

  1. Stir together the yoghurt, mustard and dill. Set aside for serving.
  2. Heat the rice bran oil in a non-stick frying pan. Combine the paprika and cumin in a small bowl and coat flesh side of the salmon with the mixture. Put the salmon in the pan, skin side down, and cook for 2-3 minutes until done to your liking. Turn and repeat with the other side. Remove the salmon from the pan and set aside. Wipe out the pan with paper towel. Add the pear wedges to the pan and cook for 1-2 minutes until golden.
