INGREDIENTS
7 oz Salmon Fillet
1/2 cup Cooked Lentils
1/2 cup Canned Chickpeas (rinsed)
1/3 cup Diced Cucumber
1/3 cup Halved Cherry Tomatoes
2 tbsp Thinly Sliced Red Onion
0.4 tbsp Olive Oil
1 tbsp Lemon Juice
2 tbsp Chopped Fresh Parsley
Salt & Black Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Pat the salmon dry with a paper towel and season both sides with salt and black pepper.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the salmon with skin-side down and sear for about 3-4 minutes until the skin crisp ups.
Flip the salmon carefully and cook for an additional 3-4 minutes or until desired doneness. Remove and let rest.
In a bowl, combine the cooked lentils, rinsed chickpeas, diced cucumber, halved cherry tomatoes, and sliced red onion.
In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, chopped parsley, and a pinch of salt and pepper to create the dressing.
Drizzle the dressing over the salad and gently toss to combine all the ingredients.
Plate the salad and top with the seared salmon fillet. Garnish with extra parsley if desired and serve immediately.
