Salmon with Lentils and Mustard-Herb Butter (Saumon aux Lentilles)

Ingredients for Salmon with Lentils and Mustard-Herb Butter (Saumon aux Lentilles)

• 5 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened

• 1 tablespoon chopped chives

• 1 teaspoon chopped tarragon

• 2 teaspoons grainy mustard

• 2 cucchiaini di succo di limone fresco

• 240ml French green lentils

• 950ml di acqua

• 2 medium leeks (white and pale green parts only)

• 1 cucchiaio di burro non salato

• 1/2 to 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice

• 4 (170g) pieces skinless salmon fillet

• 2 cucchiai di burro non salato

Stir together all ingredients with 1/4 teaspoons each of salt and pepper.

Bring lentils, water, and 3/4 teaspoons salt to a boil in a heavy medium saucepan, then reduce heat and simmer, uncovered, until lentils are just tender, 20 to 25 minutes. Remove from heat and let stand 5 minutes. Reserve 120ml cooking liquid, then drain lentils.

While lentils cook, chop leeks, then wash . Cook leeks in butter in a heavy medium skillet over medium-low heat, stirring occasionally, until softened, 6 to 8 minutes.

Add lentils with reserved cooking liquid to leeks along with 45ml mustard-herb butter and cook, stirring, until lentils are heated through and butter is melted. Add lemon juice and salt and pepper to taste. Remove from heat and keep warm, covered.

Pat salmon dry and sprinkle with 1/2 teaspoons salt and 1/4 teaspoons pepper (total).

Heat butter in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat until foam subsides, then sauté salmon, turning once, until golden and just cooked through, 6 to 8 minutes total.

Serve salmon, topped with remaining mustard-herb butter, over lentils.
