Crispy salmon fillet with hearty salad for a flavorful weeknight dinner.
Ingredients:
  • 1 bunch Tuscan kale*, stems removed, leaves thinly sliced
  • 1 red onion, thinly sliced
  • 80ml lemon juice
  • 200g lentils
  • 42.00 gm soy sauce
  • 48.00 gm miso paste
  • 20.00 ml rice wine vinegar
  • 20.00 ml sesame oil
  • 2 tsp finely grated ginger
  • 90ml vegetable oil, divided
  • 24.00 gm sesame seeds, toasted, divided
  • 4 (about 160g each) skin-on salmon fillets
  • Lemon wedges, to serve
Instructions:
  • Combine the kale, onion, 1/4 cup (60ml) lemon juice, and 1 teaspoon sea salt flakes in a bowl. Let it sit, tossing occasionally.
  • In a large saucepan, bring 3 cups (750ml) water to a boil over high heat. Stir in lentils and simmer covered on medium-low heat for 20 minutes, or until just tender. Drain well and spread lentils on a large baking tray to cool completely before adding them to the kale mixture.
  • Whisk together soy sauce, miso paste, vinegar, sesame oil, ginger, 1/3 cup (80ml) vegetable oil, and 1 tablespoon lemon juice in a medium bowl. Set aside 1/4 cup (60ml) of the dressing. Toss kale mixture with 1/2 tablespoon sesame seeds and the reserved dressing. Season with salt and pepper.
  • Heat 2 teaspoons of vegetable oil in a large non-stick frying pan over medium heat. Place the salmon in the pan skin-side down and cook for 5 minutes until the skin is crisp. Flip the salmon and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until it is mostly opaque with a rosy centre.
  • Plate the salad and salmon evenly onto 4 plates. Sprinkle with the remaining sesame seeds, and serve with the reserved dressing and lemon wedges.
