Methods/steps

Soak cedar plans and skewers in water for at least 30 minutes or up to 2 hours. Meanwhile in a shallow glass dish, combine vodka, brown sugar, 1 Tbsp. oil, mustard, salt and pepper. Add salmon and marinate for 30 minutes.

Cut tomatoes in half lengthwise and scoop out the pulp seeds. Holding 2 skewers about 3/4" apart, skewer 3 tomato halves open side facing up; repeat with remaining skewers and tomatoes. Brush both sides with remaining oil. Remove salmon from marinade, reserving marinade to baste, and skewer in the same was as the tomatoes.

In a medium bowl combine Ile de France Goat Cheese, parsley and scallions; mound onto tomatoes.
