INGREDIENTS
9 oz Salmon Fillet (~255g)
1 cup Green Beans (~125g)
0.75 cup Cooked Lentils (~150g)
2 Garlic Cloves (~6g)
1 tbsp Olive Oil (~14g)
Salt & Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Pat the salmon fillet dry with paper towels and season both sides generously with salt and pepper.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat and add the olive oil.
Once the oil is shimmering, place the salmon fillet skin-side down (if applicable) and sear for 4-5 minutes until a crispy crust forms.
Flip the salmon carefully and cook for another 3-4 minutes, or until the fish is just opaque and flakes easily with a fork.
While the salmon cooks, prepare the lentil mash by gently warming the cooked lentils in a small saucepan. Use a fork or potato masher to break them down slightly, creating a coarse mash. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper.
In a separate pan, heat a small amount of olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic (from the 2 cloves) and sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
Add the green beans to the garlic, stirring to coat evenly. Sauté the green beans for about 3-4 minutes, or until they are tender-crisp.
Plate the dish by spooning a generous helping of the lentil mash onto the center of the plate, place the seared salmon fillet on top or beside it, and finish with a serving of garlic green beans.
Serve immediately and enjoy your nutrient-packed, flavorful dinner.
