A lifetime of lentils.
Lentils have taken over my life. What other combinations can I think of? I believe that a lentil smoothie would be just fantastic. Don’t you?
Really though, lentils are so versatile, and since they are so healthy, they can be eaten daily. I have had so much fun making different salads out of them, and I especially enjoyed the lentil mushroom burgers.
But did you know that lentils pair really well with salmon??
PB and I have been trying to reduce our grocery bill and lentils have contributed to our new lower bill. They are so cheap! However, my body has been craving a gorgeous piece of fish for a few days. Why not combine the two?
Salmon with Lentils for 1
Serves 1
Ingredients
1 5 oz piece Atlantic salmon
¼ cup USA lentils
1.25 cups water*
dash kosher salt
1 tbs olive oil
*I increased the water because mine ended up a little burned
Directions
1. Boil the water in a small pot. Add the lentils, lower the heat and simmer for 25-30 minutes until the water has evaporated and the lentils are soft.
2. Heat the oil in a skillet over medium high heat. Sprinkle both sides of the salmon with kosher salt and cook in the skillet for 8 minutes, flipping halfway through.
3. Spoon the lentils into a bowl and top with the cooked piece of salmon. Add a few turns of freshly cracked black pepper. Enjoy!
I enjoyed this lunch immensely, but I can’t decide which lentil recipe of the 6 I should enter into the Recipe Rivalry.
To recap:
Recipe #1: Rustic Lentil Salad
Recipe #2: Mushroom Lentil Burgers
Recipe #3: Lentils with Zucchini & Mint
Recipe #4: Lentils & Eggplant
Recipe #5: Red Lentils for 1
Recipe #6: Salmon with Lentils (this post)

As someone who usually cooks for myself alone, my vote is for red lentils for 1
I say go with the Lentils with Zucchini & Mint. The mint + lentils is such an unknown combination that it’ll surprise people.
I love this recipe though (the salmon) and I can’t wait to try it!
Sabrina!! This is an awesome giveaway!!! I vote for Red Lentils for 1. I am DYING to try that dish the next time Brad is gone at night! 🙂

Mushroom lentil burgers. Veggie burgers are the best!!
The lentil burgers sound really good, perfect for someone like me who doesn’t eat red meat! Yum!
I vote for the Lentils with Zucchini and Mint — a refreshing and unexpected combo that I’m dying to try!
For life? That’s intense 🙂 I’d say the zucchini and mint, since it’s such an unexpected combo.
I vote for #6

My vote is for zucchini and mint. Brings a dimension of summer to lentils, PLUS it’s something different!
Salmon with lentils gets my vote!

I would definitely vote for the burger 🙂 who does not love a good burger … . I eat lentils everyday as part of my protein intake , being a vegetarian , it’s one of the easiest way to get your protein , plus there is a variety of them , and they all taste fantastic …

I love the red lentils for one recipe.
Totally the zucchini one! It’s a great recipe for the summer…i feel like it’s a big garden plant for people who do their own garden…and mint is very plentiful in the summer as well…add some lentils and it’s a PERFECT summer recipe!!!
