1. 1

   Prepare the Ingredients

   Gather all the ingredients and chop the butternut squash, kale, and macadamia nuts.

2. 2

   Cook the Sausage

   In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add the spicy sausage and cook until browned, about 5-7 minutes. Remove from the skillet and set aside.

3. 3

   Sauté the Vegetables

   In the same skillet, add the remaining tablespoon of olive oil. Add the diced butternut squash and cook for about 5 minutes until it begins to soften. Add the minced garlic and kale, cooking for an additional 3-4 minutes until the kale wilts.

4. 4

   Combine Lentils and Sausage

   Stir in the cooked lentils and browned sausage, mix well, and season with salt, pepper, and paprika. Cook for another 2-3 minutes until everything is heated through.

5. 5

   Pan-Seared Salmon

   In another skillet, heat a bit of oil over medium-high heat. Season the salmon fillets with salt and pepper, then place them skin side down in the skillet. Cook for 4-5 minutes on each side or until cooked to your desired doneness.

6. 6

   Plate the Dish
