INGREDIENTS
8 oz Salmon Fillet
1 cup Green Beans
1/2 tbsp Olive Oil
1 cup Cooked Lentils
1 tsp Butter
3 cloves Garlic
Salt and Pepper
PREPARATION
Pat the 8-ounce salmon fillet dry with a paper towel and season generously with salt and pepper.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the salmon skin-side down and sear for about 4-5 minutes until the skin is crisp.
Flip the salmon and add 1 crushed clove of garlic to the pan. Continue cooking for another 3-4 minutes until the salmon is cooked through. Remove from heat.
For the garlic green beans, blanch the green beans in boiling water for 2-3 minutes until tender-crisp, then drain and rinse under cold water.
In a small pan, heat 1/2 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Sauté 1 minced garlic clove for about 30 seconds, then add the blanched green beans. Season with salt and pepper and sauté for another 2 minutes to infuse the garlic flavor.
For the lentil mash, place 1 cup of cooked lentils in a bowl. Add 1 teaspoon of butter and the remaining minced garlic (made from 1 clove). Season lightly with salt and pepper. Using a fork or potato masher, gently mash the lentils to your desired consistency.
Plate the dish by spooning a generous portion of lentil mash, arranging the garlic green beans on the side, and topping with the seared salmon fillet.
Garnish with an extra pinch of black pepper if desired, and serve warm.
