Ingredients

What you'll gather

  • 2 salmon fillets (approx. 150 g each)

Method

A gentle path

  1. 1

    Simmer the lentils in salted water for 20 minutes, until tender but still holding.

    Heat the oven to 200 °C. Rub the salmon with oil, salt and pepper.

  3. 3

    Roast for 10–12 minutes, until the centre is just barely translucent.

  4. 4

    Stir the herbs, garlic and lemon through the yogurt; season well.

  5. 5

    Dress the drained lentils with olive oil, lemon and salt.

  6. 6

    Spoon the lentils onto plates, add the salmon, and finish with the herbed yogurt.

A little note

Around 40 g protein per plate. Cold leftovers make a very good lunch.
