Grilled Salmon with Stewed Lentils
Active Time: 30 minutes
Total Time: 45 minutes
Servings: 6
Recommended Beverage: Merlot
Created by: Chef Keith Snow
Description:
Stewed lentils pack a punch when it comes to nutritious and delicious foods. They are a perfect match for the equally delicious and nutritious wild-caught salmon. All of those flavors combined with fresh herbs and a touch of fennel, will have you going back for seconds.
Ingredients:
[private_Monthly_supporting_Member|Annual_supporting_member|Lifetime_supporting_member]
2 lbs wild-caught salmon
1/2 cup olive oil
2 cups French lentils
2 medium carrots chopped
2 ribs celery chopped
2 small onions chopped
4 cloves garlic chopped
3 sprigs fresh thyme
3 sprigs fresh tarragon
6 cups chicken broth low sodium
3 whole bay leaves
1/4 cup tomato paste
salt and pepper to taste
1 recipe remoulade sauce optional
Directions:
1. Rub the salmon with some of the oil and season with salt and pepper.
2. Heat the remaining oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add all of the vegetables to the oil and cook for about 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally.
3. When the vegetables have softened add the lentils, tomato paste, tarragon, bay leaf and thyme. Cook all of this for about five minutes and then add the broth. (Cooking the lentils in the butter first helps them not break down and turn mushy)
4. Bring the lentils to a low simmer and cook for about 20-30 minutes. Season to taste
5. Grill the salmon over medium high heat for about 3-4 minutes per side, some nice coloring will result in more flavor so don’t turn the fish until a good color is achieved.
6. Serve on top of the lentils with remoulade sauce.
Chef’s Notes: I am a HUGE proponent of wild-caught salmon, I know it costs more but eating fish that has been in a natural environment is a key principle of Harvest Eating.[/private]
