Enjoy a Mediterranean-inspired dinner featuring a perfectly seared salmon fillet paired with a vibrant herbed lentil salad and tender roasted zucchini. The dish is accented with fresh lemon juice, parsley, and mint, offering a delightful blend of flavors and textures.
INGREDIENTS
7 oz Salmon Fillet
0.75 cup Cooked Lentils
2 tsp Olive Oil (Salad Dressing)
1 medium Zucchini
1 tsp Olive Oil (For Zucchini Roasting)
1 tbsp Lemon Juice
2 tbsp Fresh Parsley
2 tbsp Fresh Mint
1 clove Garlic
Salt and Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat the oven to 425°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Slice the zucchini into rounds or half-moons. Toss with 1 teaspoon olive oil, salt, and pepper. Arrange on the baking sheet and roast for 15-20 minutes until tender and slightly caramelized.
While the zucchini roasts, rinse and pat dry the salmon fillet. Season both sides with salt and pepper.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the salmon skin-side down for about 4-5 minutes until crisp, then flip and cook for an additional 3-4 minutes until the salmon reaches your desired doneness.
In a bowl, combine the cooked lentils with chopped fresh parsley, mint, minced garlic, and lemon juice. Drizzle in 2 teaspoons of olive oil and toss to combine. Adjust salt and pepper as needed.
Plate the seared salmon alongside a generous serving of herbed lentil salad and roasted zucchini. Serve immediately, enjoying the balance of rich salmon, zesty lentils, and tender zucchini.
