Ingredients
Honey Vinaigrette:
1/3 cup seasoned rice wine vinegar
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
1 teaspoon honey
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon cracked black pepper
2 cloves garlic, minced
1/3 cup vegetable oil
Salmon:
Four 6-ounce salmon fillets, 1 to 1 1/2-inches thick
Olive oil, for drizzling
Kosher salt and cracked black pepper
Lentil Salad:
1 cup lentils, cooked according to package directions
1/2 cup toasted and chopped pecans
1/3 cup halved sugar snap peas, ends removed
4 scallions, diced
2 medium avocados, diced
Juice of 1 lemon
1 red bell pepper, chopped
Directions
- For the honey vinaigrette: Add the rice wine vinegar, Dijon, honey, salt, pepper and garlic to a food processor or blender and pulse. Slowly blend while adding the oil in a steady stream. Remove 1/4 cup of the dressing for the salmon, reserving the rest for the salad.
- For the salmon: Preheat the broiler to high and adjust the oven rack 6 inches from the broiler. Drizzle the salmon with olive oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Place the salmon skin-side down on a foil-lined sheet tray. Broil the salmon 6 inches from the heat 10 to 12 minutes, then brush with the reserved dressing.
- For the lentil salad: Toss together the cooked lentils, pecans, sugar snap peas, scallions, avocados, lemon juice and red pepper. Dress the salad just before serving.
- Serve the broiled salmon over the lentil salad.
