Number Of Ingredients 17

1/4 cup sliced organic almonds, divided
1 cup lentils, rinsed
14 1/2 ounces reduced-sodium, fat-free chicken broth
1 1/2 teaspoons fennel seed (whole or ground)
1 teaspoon coriander seed (whole or ground)
3/4 teaspoon cardamom pods (whole or ground)
3/4 teaspoon cumin seeds (whole or ground)
3 whole cloves or 1/8 teaspoon ground cloves
Cooking spray
1 shallot, peeled and chopped (about 1/4 cup)
2 cloves garlic, minced
1/2 teaspoon salt, divided
1/2 teaspoon black pepper, divided
14 1/2 ounces peeled, no-salt-added tomatoes
1 teaspoon hot sauce, or to taste
12 ounces salmon fillet, (4 3-ounce fillets), boned and skinned
Always buy broth in cardboard containers instead of cans.

Steps:

  • Spread the organic almonds on an ungreased baking pan. Place in a 350-degree oven and bake 5 to 10 minutes or until almonds are light brown; stir once or twice to ensure even browning. Note that almonds will continue to brown slightly after removing from oven. In medium saucepan over medium-high heat, bring lentils and broth to boil; reduce heat to low, cover and simmer 20 to 25 minutes or until lentils are tender. Meanwhile, put all whole spices in a grinder and process until well ground, or if using ground spices, combine them in a small bowl. Coat a skillet lightly with vegetable cooking spray and place over medium-high heat. Add shallot and garlic; sauté about 5 minutes until translucent. Mix in 1 1/4 teaspoons of the spice mixture, 1/4 teaspoon of the salt and 1/4 teaspoon of the pepper. Cook, stirring constantly, for 2 minutes. In an electric blender, pulse tomatoes just until roughly puréed; add to pan with hot pepper sauce and heat through. Set aside. In small bowl, mix remaining spices, salt and pepper; rub onto both sides of salmon fillets. Heat large skillet over medium-high heat. Coat lightly with vegetable cooking spray; add salmon to pan without crowding. Sauté salmon 4 minutes; turn, cover and cook 3 to 6 minutes longer, depending on thickness, or until cooked throughout. Stir two tablespoons of organic almonds into lentils; divide among four plates. Top with salmon and tomato sauce. Sprinkle with remaining almonds

This recipe was a bit of a letdown. The Moroccan tomato sauce was bland and the salmon and lentils were overcooked. I wouldn't recommend this recipe.
