Barbaras' favorite recipe: Roasted salmon on saffron lentils

At ValueQuest, we don't believe in run-of-the-mill feedback solutions. Every organization is different. That's why we develop surveys that are tailored to your specific requirements - whether you are an SME or a large corporation. Good collaboration and inspiration don't just happen at your desk, but sometimes also over lunch or dinner. That's why we not only share our expertise here, but also our favorite recipes from the ValueQuest team.

This is how it's done

  • 50 minutes

  1. Cover the lentils with water, bring to the boil once, then pour into a sieve and rinse thoroughly.
    Prepare the spring onions. Finely chop the white and the lowest part of the green, cut the darker green into rolls and set aside. Peel and chop the garlic clove.
  2. Heat the butter and olive oil. Sauté the chopped spring onions and garlic until translucent. Add the lentils and stock, bring to the boil, cover and cook over a medium heat for 25-35 minutes, depending on the age and quality of the lentils. At the same time, in a small pan, add the Noilly Prat or
  3. Reduce the sherry and white wine mixture to 1 dl. Add the saffron at the end.
    Remove any brown/silver spots from the salmon slices. Chop the dill medium-fine. Sprinkle ½ of the dill over the salmon and chill again until ready to serve. Set the remaining dill aside for the lentils.
  4. When the lentils are soft, add the saffron liquid and the dill and season everything with the mustard, a little lemon juice, salt and pepper. Set aside.
  5. Before preparing the salmon slices, season both sides with salt and piment d'Espelette or pink pepper.
  6. Heat a frying pan until hot. Cover with baking paper and place the salmon slices in it. Cook the salmon over a medium-high heat for 4 minutes on the first side. Then turn and finish cooking over a medium heat for just 2-3 minutes.
  7. At the same time, heat the lentils well again. Stir in the reserved spring onion greens.
  8. Arrange the lentils on warmed plates, place the salmon slices on top and drizzle with a little saffron liquid. Serve immediately.
