INGREDIENTS
8 oz Salmon Fillet
3/4 cup Cooked Lentils
1 cup Asparagus
1/4 cup Chickpeas
1 tbsp Hemp Seeds
1/2 tbsp Extra Virgin Olive Oil
0.7 oz Crumbled Feta Cheese
1 tbsp Plain Nonfat Greek Yogurt
1 tbsp Lemon Juice
Salt and Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 425°F for roasting the asparagus.
Season the asparagus lightly with salt, pepper, and a drizzle of olive oil. Place on a baking sheet and roast in the oven for 12-15 minutes until tender.
While the asparagus roasts, heat a nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Pat the salmon fillet dry with a paper towel; season both sides with salt and pepper.
Sear the salmon, skin-side down first if applicable, for about 4-5 minutes per side until a golden crust forms and the salmon is just cooked through.
In a bowl, combine the cooked lentils and chickpeas. Add the hemp seeds, and mix in a dressing made from lemon juice, Greek yogurt, a dash of olive oil, salt, and pepper.
Plate the salmon on a bed of the warm lentil salad. Arrange the roasted asparagus alongside.
Finish by garnishing the dish with a light sprinkle of crumbled feta cheese. Serve immediately and enjoy the mix of fresh, hearty flavors.
