Recipe is for Icelandic Steelhead Salmon (but I think any salmon or thick filet would work) \u2013 I\u2019ve also ordered more shelf stable items (beans, lentils, pasta, etc) than I could ever use in a year. I found this recipe online and adjusted it for one (and have leftover lentils which I will use today). If you\u2019re serving more just increase the salmon filets. I\u2019m trying to find recipes that take &lt;30 minutes from start to finish (I did the leek and carrot mis en place earlier!).<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<h5>Salmon with Lentils<\/h5>\n<p><em>Serves 1. Takes approx. 30 minutes (preparation and cooking)<\/em><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline\">Ingredients:<\/span><br \/>\n1 salmon filet (1 portion 6-8 oz\/about 175-200 grams)<br \/>\nGreen lentils (1 cup\/128 grams)<br \/>\nWater (2. \u00be cups\/650 ml)<br \/>\nCarrots (2 medium, I used 3) peels and cut into thin rounds<br \/>\nLeek (1) -white part only, washed and cut into thin rounds<br \/>\nMustard (Dijon or whole grain) \u2013 1 tablespoon\/15 grams<br \/>\nSherry Vinegar\/Wine Vinegar \u2013 1 tablespoon\/15 grams<br \/>\nOlive oil<br \/>\nBlack Pepper<br \/>\nSalt (recipe called for Kosher Salt, I used whatever was around)<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline\">Instructions:<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Prepare Lentils:<\/p>\n<p>Combine lentils, water, and a little salt (1 tsp\/ ) in saucepan. Bring to a boil and then reduce to a simmer. Cook with lid askew (partially covered) for 10 minutes, stir from time to time. Add carrots and leek, continue to cook about 10 minutes more. Add mustard, olive oil, black pepper and some salt (keep warm, I kept it on the stove with no heat)<\/p>\n<p>Prepare Filet:<\/p>\n<p>I started this process after I added the carrots and leeks to the lentils above.<br \/>\nSeason filet with salt. Heat a thin layer of olive oil in non-stick pan (or cast iron \u2013 which I don\u2019t have) recipe says use medium high heat \u2013 I just set it to slightly below high. Once heated add the file skin side down, reduce heat slightly. Recipe says to cook for 4 minutes but I probably cooked for 6 minutes, then flipped the filet and cooked for 2 more minutes.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-401\" src=\"http:\/\/new.alumnae.mtholyoke.edu\/europe\/files\/2020\/04\/Jane-Zimmy-Salmon-and-Lentils-1-rotated.jpg\" alt=\"Salmon and Lentils\" width=\"480\" height=\"640\" srcset=\"https:\/\/new.alumnae.mtholyoke.edu\/europe\/files\/2020\/04\/Jane-Zimmy-Salmon-and-Lentils-1-rotated.jpg 480w, https:\/\/new.alumnae.mtholyoke.edu\/europe\/files\/2020\/04\/Jane-Zimmy-Salmon-and-Lentils-1-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/new.alumnae.mtholyoke.edu\/europe\/files\/2020\/04\/Jane-Zimmy-Salmon-and-Lentils-1-20x27.jpg 20w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 480px) 100vw, 480px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline\">Source:<\/span><\/p>\n<p>https:\/\/blog.freshdirect.com\/sustainable-steelhead-fish-recipes\/<\/p>\n<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on the_content -->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Name: Jane Zimmy Class Year: 1974 Country of Residence: USA Why is this recipe great?
