Salmon with puy lentils and beetroot

Salmon with puy lentils and beetroot

Salmon with Puy Lentils
 
This healthy and delicious salmon dish makes good use of seasonal British beetroot and the recipe easily doubles for a family meal. The marmalade and mustard add a real zing to the fish and the earthiness of the beetroot and puy lentils are perfect winter ingredients that make a great accompaniment for the salmon. For quickness I used a pack of ready to eat puy lentils but feel free to use dried if you have more time.

Puy Lentils

If you’re short of time a pack of precooked – not pickled, will work well.
