Steps:

- While the fish is cooking, tip the lentils, capers, samphire and olive oil into a small saucepan and gently heat through, adding the lemon juice and seasoning to taste. Serve the fish with the lentils, lemon wedges, a dollop of yogurt and a drizzle of olive oil.

WARM LENTIL SALAD WITH GOAT CHEESE
Even people who swear they don't abide beans find pleasure in the distinctive, profound flavor of lentils. They also cook quickly, and you want them on the al dente side for this salad. That means they'll be ready in 25 minutes, still a long enough simmering time to yield a savory broth. Goat cheese and lentils make a particularly good pairing; the little earthy-sweet legumes love a salty-umami complement (that's why you so often see them paired with sausage and other cured pork products), and goat cheese fits the bill. Here the combination is especially cozy, as the cheese melts into the warm lentils, bathing them in a creamy dressing. Lentils and vinegar also marry well. The key here is to add the dressing while the lentils are still warm, even if you don't plan on serving the salad warm. I spoon the mixture onto a bed of wild arugula, though regular will do if you can't find the sharper tasting, wispy wild variety.

Steps:
- In a medium pot, combine lentils, onion, two of the garlic cloves and the bay leaf with 6 cups water. Bring to a gentle boil over medium-high heat. Add salt to taste, cover, reduce heat to low and simmer 25 minutes, until lentils are cooked through but still have some texture (they should not be mushy). Taste and adjust salt. Using tongs, remove onion and bay leaf. (You may cook lentils up to four days ahead and store in the refrigerator. Bring back to a simmer and proceed with recipe.)
- In a small bowl or measuring cup, mix together vinegar, remaining garlic, salt to taste and olive oil. Set aside.
- Place a strainer over a bowl and carefully drain lentils, reserving 1/4 cup of the broth. Return lentils to the pot. Whisk reserved broth into the dressing, then stir dressing into lentils. Add goat cheese and stir until it has melted into the lentils. Season to taste with pepper. Stir in herbs.
- Line a platter, salad plates or wide bowls with arugula. Top arugula with the lentils. Serve warm.

Tips:
- Choose the freshest trout possible: The fresher the trout, the better the flavor will be. Look for trout that has bright, clear eyes, firm flesh, and a mild, briny smell.
- Grill the trout over medium-high heat: This will help to cook the trout evenly and prevent it from drying out.
- Don't overcook the trout: Trout is a delicate fish, so it's important not to overcook it. Cook the trout for just a few minutes per side, or until it is cooked through but still moist.
- Use a variety of vegetables: This salad is a great way to use up leftover vegetables. Feel free to add any vegetables that you like, such as roasted red peppers, zucchini, or mushrooms.
- Make sure the lentils are cooked through: Lentils should be cooked until they are tender but still hold their shape.
- Dress the salad with a flavorful vinaigrette: A simple vinaigrette made with olive oil, lemon juice, and Dijon mustard is a great way to dress this salad.
Conclusion:
This warm salad of grilled trout with spinach and lentils is a delicious and healthy meal that's perfect for a weeknight dinner. The trout is grilled to perfection and the spinach and lentils add a pop of color and flavor. The salad is also a great source of protein, fiber, and omega-3 fatty acids.
