Roasted Salmon with Lentils



Lentils are nothing new in our house.  I’ve been cooking them for years as Husband’s Italian heritage demands that they have a place on the menu.  New was the roasted salmon atop a bowl of lentils.  New to the cooking of lentils was the addition of a clove which added its wonderful spice flavor to the earthy lentils.  I went ahead and followed my usual addition of the diced carrots, celery, and onion right to the pot during cooking.  I felt it saved a step by cutting them up and adding them at the start rather than after the soup was done.  Husband and Son liked this dish.  What would have been a nice addition is next week’s recipe, the onion biscuits!

  1. Hey, Kathleen, your dish looks great. I have learned to cook many Italian
    dishes over the years and I love every one of them. This was a little
    bland on spices, but a nice combination.

  2. Funny, even though The Dude is Italian he claims he never had lentils before this week... Hmmmmm
    We had ours with the biscuits - they went really nicely together.

  3. I agree with you, the biscuits would have been great with this. I'm looking forward baking them this week, although I have to admit that biscuits are not my baking forte. Nice to meet you, Kathleen!

  6. I love the color of the lentils, very French. I am making the biscuits today, Sunday, because
    I gave up eating bread for Lent and on Sunday it is pig out day. Great job with both the lentils and the salmon. Tricia and I thought the recipe a bit bland, but next time I will adjust the spices accordingly.
