INGREDIENTS
3.5 oz Salmon Fillet
1 cup cooked Lentils
1 cup Broccoli
2 cloves Garlic
1 tsp Olive Oil
Salt and Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 425°F for the broccoli.
Toss the broccoli florets with half the olive oil, salt, and pepper, then spread them on a baking sheet. Roast in the oven for about 15-20 minutes until tender and slightly crispy on the edges.
While the broccoli roasts, prepare the lentils. In a small saucepan, heat a few drops of olive oil over medium heat and sauté the minced garlic until fragrant. Stir in the cooked lentils and season with a pinch of salt and pepper. Allow them to heat through over low heat for 5 minutes.
Meanwhile, pat the salmon dry and season both sides with salt and pepper.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat and add the remaining olive oil. Once hot, place the salmon skin-side down (if applicable) and sear for about 3-4 minutes until a golden crust forms. Flip the salmon carefully and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until the flesh is just opaque and flakes easily.
Plate the lentils as a base, then add the roasted broccoli. Top with the seared salmon and serve immediately.
