Homemade honey-mustard sauce beats the processed varieties any day. Complement your seasoned salmon with brown lentils, which are easy to find and hold their shape when cooked.
Serves: 4 Hands-on time: 15 minutes Total time: 45 minutes
INGREDIENTS:
1 cup brown lentils, picked over and rinsed
8 oz kale, chopped (about 8 packed cups)
4 6-oz wild-caught salmon fillets
1 tbsp honey
2 tbsp Dijon mustard
PANTRY STAPLES
Ground black pepper and sea salt, to taste
Olive oil cooking spray
INSTRUCTIONS:
Preheat oven to 450°F.
In a large saucepan over high heat, bring 4 cups water to a boil. Add lentils and kale. Cover and simmer over medium-low heat for 25 minutes, stirring occasionally. Remove lid and simmer 5 to 10 minutes more or until lentils and kale are tender. Season with salt and pepper, to taste.
Meanwhile, place salmon fillets on a baking sheet lined with foil and coated with cooking spray. Season salmon with salt and pepper, to taste. Bake for 12 minutes.
In a small bowl, stir together honey and mustard. When salmon is ready, remove fillets from oven and coat thoroughly with honey-mustard glaze. Return to oven and bake 10 to 15 minutes more or until cooked through.
Divide lentil mixture among 4 plates. Top each with a salmon fillet and serve immediately.
