Seared Salmon with Herb Lentil Salad and Roasted Beets
Enjoy a vibrant plate of perfectly seared salmon served atop a zesty herb lentil salad, accompanied by sweet roasted beets. A touch of extra virgin olive oil and a delicate dollop of cottage cheese complete this dish, offering a balance of hearty protein and bright, fresh flavors.
INGREDIENTS
4 oz Salmon Fillet
1/2 cup Cooked Green Lentils
2 tbsp Fresh Parsley (chopped)
2 tsp Extra Virgin Olive Oil
1 tbsp Lemon Juice
1 medium Roasted Beet
2 tbsp Low-Fat Cottage Cheese
Salt & Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat the oven to 400°F. Wrap the medium beet in foil and roast for about 35-40 minutes until tender. Once roasted, allow it to cool slightly, then peel and cut into bite-sized pieces.
Meanwhile, season the 4 oz salmon fillet with salt and pepper. Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the salmon for about 3-4 minutes per side until a golden crust forms and the inside remains moist.
In a bowl, combine the 1/2 cup cooked green lentils with chopped fresh parsley. Drizzle with 2 teaspoons of extra virgin olive oil and 1 tablespoon of lemon juice. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper, then gently toss to mix.
Plate the herb lentil salad on a serving dish. Place the seared salmon fillet on top or beside the salad. Arrange the roasted beet pieces around the plate.
Finish by adding a garnish of 2 tablespoons low-fat cottage cheese on the side. Serve warm and enjoy the medley of flavors and textures.
