    mmm....delicious, didn't do the salmon just the dahl to have as a side dish. Replaced fresh tomatoes with half a tin of toms and reduced the amount of stock. also added a bit more garam masala and chilli, just personal taste. quick, easy and nutritious!

    One of the best recipes I've tried from Good Food, and there have been many great ones to choose from! The dahl was a little watery, but left the lid off towards the end and turned up the heat and this seemed to do the job. I also pan-fried the salmon rather than grill it, and kept it as a whole piece and placed it on top of the dahl and rice ... great to have the crispy skin. Really delicious and very little preparation or cooking involved. Give it a go!

    Gorgeous dish. Cooked salmon on George Foreman grill to give salmon a nice crust on the outside. Added double the amount of Garam Masala and some fresh chilli and squeeze of lemon at the end for zing.

    This is a great meal for the family - I admit I was surprised to see my 5 yr old and 2 yr old scoff it (I omitted the chilli, coriander and mixed the dahl in with brown rice and served with green beans). It's quick and a great way to get some lentils in your diet. Lentils provide long-lasting energy and contain iron, so have a glass of fresh juice with it to increase iron absorption. I made extra of the dahl for my lunch the next day - great with a big salad.

    Will cook a double quantity next time. My wife asked for a second helping but there was none. Yes, it really is that good.

    I would always microwave salmon or any other fish when it is being added to rice. spaghetti, pasta etc., it is quicker and saves a fishy smelling grillpan! Saves on washing up.

    Lovely. I added ginger and garlic to the dahl. Next time will make without the salmon as the dahl was delicious by itself.

    Absolutely gorgeous and fast beoming a favourite in our house! Dahl is great as it is, but we usually add some more veg (grated carrot, or spinach), and for extra creaminess a spoon or two of creme fraiche. Such a versatile dish.

    Brilliant, tasty, quick & healthy. I struggle to find recipes that the whole family like - this was one - I doubled the recipe. I didn't add the chilli flakes as i didnt want to give my kids a reason to turn up their noses! Next time i'll separate out half the daal & add chilli

    Delicious and easy to make. Salmon needed longer than the instructions, but I expect it was because I set the grill too low. I didn't have any fresh tomatoes so used a can of chopped tomatoes and reduced the stock by half. Cooked it uncovered for the last 4 mins or so to thicken it up a little. Will be making again, we thought it tasted great.

    Really nice, but added fresh ginger, garlic, mustard seeds and an extra teaspoon chilli flakes. Very chickeny so maybe dilute stock a bit next time. And very healthy! Will be a regular.

    Lovely taste! I was worried the dal was going to be too runny too but as it turned out the sauce got soaked up by all the rice we had. Particularly enjoyed the way the salmon is cooked as I think it would work well also in other contexts. Shall be making again!

    This is really delicious and so easy although next time I think I will oven cook the salmon as I found it hard to get the portions cooked through without burning the skin. My 4 year old loved it (though I left the chilli flakes out of her portion).
