Spicy salmon & lentils

I didn't have curry paste, canned lentils or spinach, but used dried lentils and made some curry paste from an onion and a zillion spices I'd forgotten about, so the end product only vaguely resembled the intended meal, but it was lovely! I'll be making it again when I'm a bit more organised.

This recipe is a bit of a dark horse. From the picture and the description - lets be honest, salmon and lentils? Yawn. I chose it because I decided to do the whole 'my body is a temple' thing this January. In reality this is a truly delicious and very easy meal. I make it after night school when I am ravenous and hangry. I have to agree with the other commenters - the amount of olive oil here is serious overkill. Why add all those extra calories? It literally leaves a puddle on the plate that makes you feel guilty even though you are eating salmon and lentils!! If I am going to get the guilties I want a burger in my hands. Not lentils. Anyway, I think a little bit of oil is nice - maybe a teaspoon. But three tablespoons is bonkers. Apart from that, a staple in our house and highly recommended.

This has become a weekly favourite in our house. I add frozen spinach (defrosted in micro for a couple of minutes beforehand) if I don't have any fresh and it works well. I don't bother with the olive oil any more as I don't find it adds anything to the dish; I just squeeze the lemon juice straight in.

I loved this recipe and so did my hubby. We only had a bag on green lentils in the cupboard so it took a bit longer to prepare but it was well worth the wait. We used Thai green curry paste and replaced the spinach with sweetcorn and spring onions as we had no spinach. Yum! We will surely be cooking this again.

Really jummy! I made this with pangasius fillets instead of salmon, tasted great!

This was absolutely delicious! my husband ate his dish in about 20 seconds. really simple to make, and with the right amount of seasoning the food tasted great. I don't normally cook salmon this way so it made a nice change!

This is fab! I used puy lentils instead of green, and didn't use all of the dressing. I have done this a couple of times now and the whole family love it, including my son who was says he doesn't like spinach or lentils!

Yum! Really tasty and really quick. I didn't use all of the oil (probably only 1tbsp instead) to make this healthier and used puy lentils instead of green because I prefer the flavour but will definitely be making this again

Really enjoyed this, although I reduced the amount of oil down to 1tbsp to make it healthier and used a tin of puy lentils instead of green lentils as I prefer the flavour.

A favourite mid week quick meal. I use Madras curry paste and to save a few calories I don't always add the dressing.
