Salmon with puy lentils and beetroot

 
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 and Beetroot

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