Swedish Salmon with Beetroot and Lentils

Good Pair Days (Roos Michels) -
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • ½ tsp honey
  • 1 tbsp wholegrain mustard
  • 250g ready-cooked puy lentils
  • 2 fresh salmon fillets
  • 250g cooked beetroot, cut into wedges
  • 2 tbsp crème fraîche
  • 1 pack of dill, chopped
  • 2 tbsp capers
  • ½ lemon, zest only
  • 2 tbsp toasted pumpkin seeds
  • Rocket, to serve
  • Preheat the oven to 200C. Mix 1 tbsp of oil with the mustard, honey and some seasoning, then pop the fish fillets in a baking tray, and smear with the mustard mixture. Tip the beetroot wedges and lentils into a casserole dish, toss with the remaining oil, and season liberally. Put both in the oven for 10 mins, to cook the salmon through.
  • Stir the capers, zest, and crème fraîche through the lentils, then serve alongside the salmon with a hearty scattering of pumpkin seeds and some black bread. Yum!
