Ingredient |
| 1 cup | McKenzie's French Style Lentils |
| 1 | lemon, rind finely grated and juiced |
| 1 teaspoon | vegetable stock powder |
| 1 tablespoon | fresh dill, chopped, plus extra to serve |
| To taste | McKenzie's Australian Natural Sea Salt |
| To taste | McKenzie's Whole Black Peppercorns |
| 2 tablespoons | oil |
| 4 | salmon fillets, skin on |
| 4 | lemon wedges, to serve |
Directions
Step 1
Place McKenzie's French Style Lentils in a medium saucepan with 3 cups of water, lemon rind and juice and stock powder. Bring to boil, reduce heat and simmer until lentils are soft and most of the liquid has been absorbed, approximately 20-25 minutes. Turn off the heat, cover and set aside until ready to serve.
Step 2
Heat oil in saucepan. Place salmon fillets, skin side down into the pan and cook until skin is golden brown and crips. Flip over and cook for a further few mintues, until salmon is still just pink in the middle.
Step 3
Just before serving, stir dill through lentils and season to taste.
Step 4
To serve, divide lentils onto 4 plates and top with a salmon fillet. Sprinkle extra dill on top and place lemon wedge on the side.
Step 5
Tips: Could be served with steamed or stir fried vegies, or salad in the warmer months. The salmon could also be cooked on the barbeque, in a similar fashion to that in a saucepan. Other fish could be used in place of salmon, such as tuna, whiting or John Dory fillets. This dish could also be made into a hearty salad in the warmer months. Just cool both the lentils and salmon in the fridge and serve by flaking the cooled salmon (omitting the skin) and tossing through the lentils. Fresh by adding lemon juice and more fresh dill. A small amount of mayonnaise could also be stirred through prior to serving.
