Honey Mustard-Glazed Salmon with Lentils & Kale

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:

  1. Preheat oven to 450°F.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. Divide lentil mixture among 4 plates. Top each with a salmon fillet and serve immediately.
