Roasted Salmon with Lentils Recipe

Roasted Salmon with Lentils Recipe

  • 3/4 cup lentils
  • 1/2 small onion, chopped
  • 1 large stalk celery, chopped
  • 2 tablespoons red-wine vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 1/3 cup chopped fresh parsley
  • Coarse salt and ground pepper
  • 4 (6 ounce) skinless salmon fillets
  • Nonstick cooking spray
  1. Heat broiler. Combine lentils and 2 1/2 cups water in a medium saucepan. Bring to a boil; reduce heat, and simmer, covered, 5 minutes. Add onion and celery; cover, and continue cooking until lentils and vegetables are just tender, 15 to 25 minutes more. Drain, reserving cooking liquid. Transfer lentils and vegetables to a medium bowl.
  2. In a bowl, whisk 2 tablespoons reserved cooking liquid with vinegar, oil, mustard, garlic, and parsley; season with salt and pepper. Toss half the dressing with the lentil mixture.
  3. Meanwhile, season salmon with salt and pepper. Coat a baking sheet with cooking spray. Arrange salmon on sheet; broil until opaque throughout, 8 to 10 minutes. Spoon lentils onto plates; top with salmon, flaking it into large pieces, if desired. Drizzle with remaining dressing.
