Ingredients
-
3 cups
chicken or vegetable broth
-
1 cup
green lentils, rinsed
-
4
salmon fillets
-
3 tablespoons
olive oil
-
1 teaspoon
lemon pepper
-
1 teaspoon
salt
-
1/2
onion, finely chopped
-
1 cup
carrots, finely chopped
-
2
stalks celery, finely chopped
-
1
red bell pepper, finely chopped
-
1 teaspoon
paprika
-
1 teaspoon
onion powder
Directions
-
In medium stock pot, over high heat, combine lentils and broth. Bring to a boil and reduce to a simmer for about 40 minutes, until lentils are soft but not mushy.
-
In medium pan, combine about 1 tablespoon of olive oil with carrots, celery, onion, bell pepper, paprika and onion powder over medium high heat until all the vegetables are soft- about 20 minutes.
-
While the lentils and vegetables are still cooking, preheat oven to 450. Combine about 2 tablespoons olive oil, salt and lemon pepper. Brush the lemon pepper mixture over the salmon fillets and set the fillets on a baking sheet. Once the oven is preheated, bake until cooked through, about 12 minutes.
-
After lentils are cooked, combine lentils and vegetables. Stir in lemon juice and spoon some of the lentil mixture onto a plate. Top with baked salmon fillet and serve warm.
