4 servings


Ingredients:

250g lentils
4 (225g) salmon fillets, skinned and pin-boned
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
8 slices of prosciutto
4 tablespoons olive oil
1 lemon, juiced
2 good handfuls mixed herbs (flat-leaf parsley, basil, and mint), chopped
3 large handfuls spinach, chopped
198g plain yoghurt, lightly seasoned with salt and pepper


Method:

  1. Preheat the oven to 220°C (425°F). Put the lentils into a pan, cover with water, bring to a boil and simmer until tender.
  2. Season the salmon fillets with a little pepper before wrapping them in the prosciutto slices. Leave some of the flesh exposed. Drizzle with olive oil and roast in the oven for around 10 minutes until the prosciutto is golden. Feel free to cook the salmon for less time if pinker is to your liking.
  3. Drain away most of the water from the lentils and season carefully with salt, pepper, the lemon juice and olive oil.
  4. Just before serving, stir the herbs and spinach into the lentils on a high heat, until wilted. Place on plates with the salmon and finish with a drizzle of lightly seasoned yoghurt.

    hey try this salmon recipe,
    INGREDIENTS
    1 Fillet (side) Tassal Atlantic Salmon, Skin removed
    1 cup Orange Marmalade
    3-4 Peaches, quartered
    2 Red Chillis, seeded and sliced
    1/4 cup Maple Syrup
    1 kilo Chunky cut and peeled vegetables for roasting
    Oil
    Cedar Plank (for stockists visit www.gourmetshopper.com.au)

    INSTRUCTIONS
    Soak cedar plank as per pack instructions. Lay fillet of salmon on the plank flat side down. Spread the surface of the salmon with marmalade and place the peaches down the centre of the salmon. Sprinkle over the sliced chilli and spoon over any remaining marmalade. Drizzle over half the maple syrup. If cooking in an over tray, you may like to place the plank on a baking tray to prevent drips. If cooking in a BBQ, place the plank over the BBQ plate that does NOT have a naked flame underneath. Bake salmon for 25-30 minutes. Half way through cooking drizzle over a little more maple syrup, reserving a little for serving. Serve hot with roasted vegetables or a tossed salad. The perfect Sunday roast!
