Ingredients
- 1 medium red onion, diced
- 1 carrot, peeled and diced
- 1 stalk celery, diced
- 1 bay leaf
- 1 cup green lentils
- Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
- 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, plus more for drizzling
- 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
- 3 cups baby arugula (1 1/2 oz.)
- 4 6-oz. fillets wild salmon, skinless
Directions
-
In a medium pot, bring onion, carrot, celery,
bay leaf, and lentils to a boil. Reduce to a
simmer and cook until lentils are tender, about
25 minutes. Drain. Season with salt and pepper.
Add olive oil and lemon juice. Stir in
arugula and cover to keep warm. Meanwhile,
heat oven to 375 degrees. Arrange fillets in a baking
dish. Drizzle with olive oil and season with salt
and pepper. Cover with foil and bake until
cooked through, about 16 to 18 minutes. Serve
with lentils and squeeze with lemon juice.
On the "intro" page (http://www.wholeliving.com/photogallery/action-plan-week-1-recipes#slide_6) it says "During the first week of detox, split each serving into two, or eat the salmon and lentils a few hours apart." To "split each serving into two", does that mean eat 1/2 serving of the whole recipe? Also, to "eat the salmon and lentils a few hours apart", does that mean eat the salmon and then eat the lentils later? This is very confusing!
I used two cups of faux chicken broth, brought to a simmer with the veggies and lentils, and it came out perfectly- no need to drain, I stirred in the arugula and it wilted down and was amazingly delicious. Also, I used red lentils.
This may be obvious, but are you supposed to simmer the lentils without water?

Anybody have a guess as to calories on this dish? thanks!

I am vegetarian. How can I substitute Salmon with anything vegetarian with same benefits
Try using 2 cups of water. Do not drain. Also, you will need to cook the lentils longer, probably 40-45 minutes.
Ok so the amount of water is not listed. Thanks kabradle, I'm going to make this for lunch tomorrow.
I made this tonight for dinner, and it was really great! I'm so glad I started the 28-Day Challenge because I never would have made this otherwise!
I made this for dinner tonight, and it was great! I found pre-cooked lentils in the produce section of my grocery store, and that saved a little time since they just needed to be warmed. I'm so glad I signed up for the 28-Day Challenge, because I never would have made this otherwise!
I made this tonight and added 3.5 cups of water and that seemed to work. This was a tasty recipe!
Am I missing something? wouldn't this need water for cooking the lentils??
