Main Ingredients

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Lentils

    Rinse the lentils under cold water. In a pot, combine the lentils with 3 cups of water and a pinch of salt. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for about 20-25 minutes, or until tender. Drain any excess water and set aside.

  2. 2

    Sauté the Spinach

    In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté for 1 minute until fragrant. Add the spinach and cook until wilted, about 2-3 minutes. Season with salt and pepper, then remove from heat.

  3. 3

    Grill the Salmon

    Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. Brush the salmon fillets with the remaining olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Grill the fillets for 4-5 minutes on each side or until cooked through and flakes easily with a fork. Squeeze fresh lemon juice over the fillets before serving.

Assembly

  1. 4

    Plate the Dish

    On each plate, create a bed of lentils, top with sautéed spinach, and place a grilled salmon fillet on top. Drizzle with additional lemon juice if desired.
