    This is an easy and healthy receipe. I didn't change any of it. I wouldn't normally consider salmon combined with an indian sauce, however, this works really well. The groundnut oil and rubbed in garam masala brings out the flavour of the salmon as salmon can sometimes be quite bland. I will definitely be making this again and not frequenting the local indian restaurant as this was much better than theirs. TRY IT!

    This is really yummy, but I would recommend adding less than 400ml chicken stock, because it does turn out rather thin.

    Loved, loved, loved this dish! I'm in a bit of a lentil & bean phase at the moment so found the dahl very enticing - just fabulous with the salmon.

    Garam masala makes it a bit salty.

    Loved this recipe, I added a pinch of ginger and a small amount of garlic paste as recommended previously and also only used 300ml stock, it was still slightly watery though so about 5 mins before the end I added about tsp of tomato puree, it thickened the sauce and really brought all the flavours together. The Dahl itself really complemented the Salmon too, served it with plain rice and a garlic and coriander naan. Will definately make this again and again!!

    This was a really nice recipe. I thought the dahl was a bit thin so i'd use less stock next time and maybe add garlic and ginger but overall it was lovely! The salmon was cooked beautifully and the lentil sauce was surprisingly tasty.

    Made this for a friend - the rest of us were having indian-style steak (which she doesn't like). Was in a rush so ended up using Ainsley Harriot lentil dahl and grilled the salmon as suggested. She loved it - I'm not mad on salmon but tried it and it was yummy. Also had mint raita and hot mango chutney with naan breads to dip in and it all went really well.

    Absolutely delish!!! I took advice from other comments. 300ml was perfect for the dahl. Pan fry garlic, mustard seeds, onion, chlili, tomatoes and turmeric then add to lentils - worked beautifully then stir through coriander and squeeze of lemon at the end. First time cooking lentils and it was yummy!!!

    I fried together the tomato, ginger, garlic n onion until soft , and as a twist added chicken to this after a few mins, and kept frying on a low heat until the chicken was cooked. Then added this to the lentils n cooked until lentils are cooked through. Served with natural yoghurt. was really really tasty

    This recipe is fantastic and quite versatile. My boyfriend amusingly bought a lot of salmon fillets instead of smoked salmon and this was a fantastic way to cook it all up with left overs for later. The recipe is quite forgiving to changes: I used tinned tomatoes instead of fresh tomatoes and my ratio of salmon to the lentil base were also slightly different and it still tastes fantastic. I found it a particularly helpful recipe as I could make the lentil base, go to the gym while it cooked, and then cook the salmon once I got home.

    I have made this recipe loads of times - excellent. Quick, easy and very tasty. I usually double up on the lentils and serve it the next day, with whatever I am having.

    This is a great recipe! It's easy to make and can be pepped up with extra chilli flakes if it's to your liking. I originally grated the onion (as suggested) but I don't bother now as I find it too fiddly - I simply chop it finely - the recipe works out just the same.
