Looking for delicious salmon recipes? We have a huge selection of healthy salmon recipes<\/a> on the blog. Here’s a simple healthy dinner recipe that is not only full of flavor, it’s full of protein, fiber and healthy fat – Salmon with Braised Lentils. It’s simple and humble in a way, but I really love this combination and the lentils give the salmon a bit of earthiness here. Serve it up with your favorite veggie and you’ll have a nourishing and satisfying meal.<\/p>\n

While you braise the French lentils, marinate the salmon in olive oil with garlic, thyme, lemon zest and a little mustard. In winter, roast this in a low and slow in the oven while you braise the lentils.<\/p>\n

Tip:<\/strong> In summer, grill the salmon over a medium-low heat with some applewood- my favorite!<\/p>\n
