If you are in a hurry, you can use canned green lentils and salmon. 1 cup (250 ml) of dried green lentils yields approximately 3 cups (750 ml) when cooked. Smoked salmon is a delicious alternative to cooked salmon.
1 cup (250 ml) green lentils
1 lb(s) (450 g) Pacific salmon fillet
2 cup (500 ml) spinach, chopped
2 cup (500 ml) carrots, grated
⅓ cup (80 ml) raisins
⅓ cup (80 ml) sunflower seeds
1 Tbsp (15 ml) sunflower oil
2 Tbsp (30 ml) sodium-reduced soy or tamari sauce
1 ½ tsp (5–10 ml) ginger, freshly chopped
1 cup (250 ml) Canadian Gouda, diced
1 Freshly ground pepper
1. Cook lentils in a saucepan filled with salted boiling water for about 20 minutes or until tender.
2. Meanwhile, cook salmon in oven at 375oF (190oC) for 12–15 minutes.
3. In a large bowl, mix remaining ingredients.
4. Rinse lentils under cold water to stop cooking, drain, and add to bowl.
5. Toss to thoroughly coat lentils with dressing.
