Make the dressing by whisking the ingredients together with a fork in a small bowl.
For the salad, cut the figs into quarters, or peel and cut the pears into good chunks, and toss with the dressing. Heat a large, heavy-based frying pan, add a little oil, then fry the halloumi until golden on each side. Keep warm on a plate while you cook the remaining cheese slices.
To serve, place the rocket in a wide, flattish bowl, strain the fruit, reserving the dressing, then scatter the fruit over the rocket and season with salt and pepper. Arrange the warm halloumi slices over the salad and spoon some of the reserved dressing over them.
