I adapted this recipe from the British cooking magazine, Olive. It was slated as a low-GI meal.. I just love lentils and really enjoyed how this dish turned out.
Ingredients
- 3/4 cup french lentils
- 1 lemon, 1/2 juiced & 1/2 wedges
- 1 clove garlic, crushed
- 2 skinless salmon fillets
- garam masala
- 1 bunch mint, roughly chopped
- 1/2 cup plain yogurt
- 1 bunch flat-leaf parsley, roughly chopped
Directions
Boil the lentils for 15 minutes until just tender. Drain, then toss with the lemon juice, garlic and some seasoning while still warm.
Meanwhile heat the grill or skillet to high. Sprinkle both sides of salmon with garam masala. Grill for 5 minutes until the top is golden and the salmon is just cooked through.
Mix half the mint with the yogurt and season. Toss the lentils with the rest of the mint and the parsley. Break the salmon into chunks and toss with the lentils. Serve with the mint yogurt and lemon wedges.
