Time 50m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil, plus more for drizzling
2 leeks, white and light-green parts only, halved lengthwise and chopped
2 carrots, diced
3 cloves garlic, chopped
1 tablespoon tomato paste
1 cinnamon stick
1/2 pound (1 1/4 cups) French brown or green lentils
1 bunch Swiss chard
3 6-ounce center-cut skinless salmon fillets
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
1 tablespoon honey
Juice of 1 lemon

Steps:

  • Heat 1/4 cup olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the leeks and carrots and cook until tender, 5 minutes. Add the garlic and tomato paste and cook 1 minute. Increase the heat to high; add 4 cups water, the cinnamon stick and lentils. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to medium-high, cover and simmer until tender, 20 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, remove the Swiss chard stems; reserve 3 leaves and chop the rest. Place the whole leaves over the lentils, cover and wilt, 1 minute. Remove the chard and cover the lentils. Season the salmon with salt and pepper and wrap a wilted chard leaf around each fillet.
  • Reserve about 1 cup lentils for Warm Beet and Lentil Salad. Stir the honey and lemon juice into the remaining lentils and season with salt and pepper. Stir in the chopped chard. Place the wrapped salmon on top of the lentils, drizzle with olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Cover and cook over medium-high heat until the fish is just cooked through, 6 minutes.
  • Remove the salmon and cut into pieces. (If the lentils are dry, add a splash of water.) Divide lentils among bowls and top with salmon.
  • Turn leftover lentils into Warm Beet and Lentil Salad With Goat Cheese.

This recipe was a bit too bland for my taste. I added some extra spices and herbs, and it was much better. I would definitely recommend this recipe to others, but I would suggest adding some extra flavorings.

I'm not sure what went wrong, but my lentils turned out mushy. The salmon was also a bit dry. I'm not sure if I'll try this recipe again.

The salmon was a bit overcooked for my taste, but the lentils were delicious. I would definitely try this recipe again, but I would cook the salmon for a shorter amount of time.

I'm not usually a fan of lentils, but this dish changed my mind. The lentils were cooked perfectly and had a great flavor. The salmon was also cooked perfectly and was very moist. I would definitely recommend this dish.

This salmon and lentils dish was a delight! The flavors were perfectly balanced, and the salmon was cooked to perfection. I especially loved the crispy skin on the salmon. I will definitely be making this again.
