    Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

    In a small bowl whisk together the honey, Dijon mustard, olive oil and lemon juice.
  • 3
    Remove 1/3 cup, set the other 2/3 cup aside.

    Using a brush lightly coat salmon filets, then press into ground hazelnuts-I like doing this part in a pie tin.

    Repeat until all salmon filets are prepared.

    Add 1 tablespoon olive oil to a large, oven safe skillet.

    Over medium heat lightly brown salmon filets, 2-3 minutes per side.

    Place skillet (with filets) in preheated oven for an additional 5 minutes.
  • 9
    Meanwhile place 2 cups of salad greens on each of 6 plates.
  • 10
    Divide tomatoes and chopped oranges evenly between plates.
  • 11
    Remove filets from oven, place one on each bed of prepared greens.
  • 12
    Evenly divide remaining 1 cup chopped, toasted hazelnuts.

    Whisk the reserved dressing, drizzle over salads.

    Serve.
