Preparation:

Step 1
• Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Place the walnuts on a baking sheet and lightly toast in the oven for about 8 minutes. Transfer the walnuts to a cutting board and, when cool enough, coarsely chop and set aside.
Step 2
• Increase the oven temperature to 200°C. Line a baking sheet with foil.
Step 3
• Pat the fillets dry with paper towels. Evenly coat each salmon fillet with 0.5 tablespoons of mustard. Sprinkle the fillets on all sides with salt and black pepper, then sprinkle with 0.5 tablespoons of flaxseed, gently pressing it into the flesh.
Step 4
• Place the fish on a parchment-lined baking sheet and drizzle each fillet with 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Place in the oven and bake until the internal temperature of the fish reaches 125°F (51°C), about 10 minutes.
Step 5
• Meanwhile, in a bowl, combine the remaining 4 tablespoons of olive oil, vinegar, and honey. Season with a pinch of salt and black pepper. Add the walnuts, grapes, parsley, and green onions and toss to combine.
Step 6
• When the fish is done, remove it from the oven, coat each piece generously with salsa and serve.
