Salmon fillets with leek and cherry tomatoes
Ingredients:

One whole leek, finely sliced
2 tablespoons of olive oil
2 tablespoons of mustard
2 tablespoons of honey
1 tablespoon of lemon juice
200g of cherry tomatoes, cut into halves
3 slabs of salmon fillets
Chicken stock
Salt
Black pepper

Instructions:

1) Place the leeks into a large microwave dish and add some chicken stock, until the leeks are around half-immersed in chicken stock. Add a little bit of salt over the leeks.
2) Place the dish into the microwave and cook on high for around 3 minutes, then let it stand for a minute or two.
3) Mix the olive oil, mustard, honey, and lemon juice in a small bowl, then season with a bit of salt and pepper.
4) Place the cherry tomatoes on top of the leeks, then drizzle around half the sauce over it.
