A mustard vinaigrette gives this Mediterranean-inspired dish its tangy flavor. Drizzle some over a leafy-green salad, and serve it on the side.

Time 45m

Number Of Ingredients 11

3/4 cup lentils
1/2 small onion, chopped
1 large celery stalk, chopped
2 tablespoons red-wine vinegar
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
1 clove garlic, minced
1/3 cup chopped fresh parsley
Coarse salt and ground pepper
4 skinless salmon fillets, (6 ounces each)
Nonstick cooking spray

Steps:

  • Heat broiler. Combine lentils and 2 1/2 cups water in a medium saucepan. Bring to a boil; reduce heat, and simmer, covered, 5 minutes. Add onion and celery; cover, and continue cooking until lentils and vegetables are just tender, 15 to 25 minutes more. Drain, reserving cooking liquid. Transfer lentils and vegetables to a medium bowl.
  • In a bowl, whisk 2 tablespoons reserved cooking liquid with vinegar, oil, mustard, garlic, and parsley; season with salt and pepper. Toss half the dressing with the lentil mixture.
  • Meanwhile, season salmon with salt and pepper. Coat a baking sheet with cooking spray. Arrange salmon on sheet; broil until opaque throughout, 8 to 10 minutes. Spoon lentils onto plates; top with salmon, flaking it into large pieces, if desired. Drizzle with remaining dressing.
