Step 1
Pat rabbit dry with paper towels. Season generously with salt and black pepper on both sides.
Step 2
Heat olive oil in a heavy 12-inch skillet over medium-high until shimmering. Sear rabbit 3 minutes per side until golden—don't move them.
Step 3
Push rabbit to the side. Add shallot and sauté 60 seconds until fragrant. Stir in mustard, thyme, plums, honey, and wine.
Step 4
Reduce heat to medium. Simmer uncovered 8–10 minutes, turning rabbit once, until meat is tender and plums soften into a glaze.
Step 5
Taste sauce and adjust salt and pepper. Plate rabbit with plums and spoon glaze over the top.
