Directions: |
Directions:Melt one tbsp of butter in a medium pot over medium high heat. Saute the onion, carrot, and garlic, until golden. Add the lentils and fish stock or water. Bring to a boil, reduce to a simmer, cover, and cook until lentils are done, about half an hour. (All the liquid should be absorbed.) Season to taste with salt and pepper, and keep warm.
Melt the remaining tbsp of butter with olive oil in a large skillet over high heat. Season the fish all over with salt and pepper. Saute until seared on the outside and rare inside, about 3 minutes per side. To serve, place a bed of lentils on each of the serving plates. Top each with a filet and then spoon on the optional, but wonderful, salsa.
Directions for making the Fresh Tomato Salsa:
Combine all the ingredients in a bowl. Cover and let marinate at room temperature as long as 5 hours. Spoon over salmon to serve. |
