Yield: 4 servings
Ingredients: 1 cup lentils (ideally de Puy); 2 slices bacon, diced; 3 sprigs thyme; 1/2 medium onion, diced; 1 clove garlic, minced; 1 teaspoon salt; 2 tablespoons butter; 1 carrot, diced; 1 celery stalk, diced; 1 dash white pepper; 4 salmon filets; salt and pepper; 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard; 4 teaspoons breadcrumbs; 2 tablespoons olive or grapeseed oil

Servings: persons

1 cup lentils (ideally de Puy)
2 slices bacon, diced
3 sprigs thyme
1/2 medium onion, diced
1 clove garlic, minced
1 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons butter
1 carrot, diced
1 celery stalk, diced
1 dash white pepper
4 salmon filets
salt and pepper
2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
4 teaspoons breadcrumbs
2 tablespoons olive or grapeseed oil

1
Combine lentils and 4 cups cold water in saucepan. Bring to a simmer, cover and cook for 20 minutes.
2
In another saucepan, saute bacon and thyme over medium heat about 2 minutes. Add onion, garlic and salt and cook for 5 minutes until onion is translucent. Add butter, carrots, celery, pepper and 1 cup / 235 mL water and cook for 5 more minutes.
3
Drain lentils and add to the bacon-veg mixture. Simmer lightly for another 5-10 minutes and lentils are very tender.
4
Preheat oven to 500F / 260C. Season salmon on both sides. On the rounded side of each filet, spread about 2 Tbs mustard, then press in 1 tsp breadcrumbs to form a crust.
5
Heat a large ovenproof skillet over medium-high heat and add oil. When oil is shimmering hot, add the salmon, mustard-side down. Lower heat to medium. Sear for 2 minutes, then carefully flip and sear 1 minute more. When flipping, take care to keep the crust from breaking off the fish. Transfer the pan to the oven and cook for 3-4 minutes more, depending on size of salmon.
6
Serve salmon over a bed of lentils. A simple green salad dressed with a mustard shallot vinaigrette would be a great pairing for a meal.
