Ingredients:
- 4 wild salmon fillets, 4 oz each
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard, divided
- 3/4 teaspoon dried parsley
- 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
- fresh black pepper, to taste
- 1/4 cup chopped red onion

Instructions:
- Season salmon with 2 teaspoons of the Dijon, 1/2 teaspoon dried parsley, 1/4 teaspoon salt and black pepper.

- In a large bowl, combine the red onion with olive oil, 1 1/2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar, 1 teaspoon remaining Dijon, garlic powder, 1/4 teaspoon parsley, 1/4 teaspoon salt and pepper to taste; let it sit about 5 minutes, so the flavor of the onion mellows.
