  This recipe was delicious! I did blitz up the lentils after i'd cooked them but before adding the spinach as I prefer the texture that way.

  This is one of my favourite recipes - delicious, healthy and quick. Also can be done with storecupboard ingredients by using frozen salmon fillets & frozen spinach. Fab!

  Really quick and easy to make. I substituted the can Green Lentils with Puy Lentils, only because that's what I had in the store cupboard. So tasty, I'll definately make again.

  I changed this recipe as I used 100g dried green lentils, adding them to the curry paste with just over 500ml stock and a teaspoon of garam masala. I added some leeks that needed using up after about 25 mins and then cooked the salmon as above. Finally, I added chopped parsley & the juice of half a lemon before serving, omitting the olive oil. It was very good, even if I do say so myself!

  Delicious! The spinach adds a lovely fresh flavour and texture. Next time I will try adding some other veggies as well - leeks, celery maybe.

  This was lovely, I really enjoyed it and it was so simple to make. I cooked it with frozen trout and it was fine but needed longer to cook obviously. I used Vindaloo paste which was all I had but was a tad overpowering so perhaps a balti paste next time. Also the lemon dressing can be made with half the olive oil and juice and is plenty for two, plus saves calories.

  delicious, made it with balti paste and increased the spinach quantity as felt it needed a bit more green in it.

  Beautiful! Salmon was really moist, lentils were very tasty. Used 2 extra large tsp curry paste. Didn't have spinach or dressing just a squeeze of lemon. Very quick & healthy.

  Tasty and healthy - wasn't blown away by it however I did use frozen salmon which perhaps affected the taste/texture. There is too much dressing here for two - I used half the amount for the two of us and that was plenty (and I normally like loads of dressings and sauces!) Used Tikka Masala curry paste and frozen spinach which both worked well.
