Instructions
Wash produce before use
1
Cook the lentils
- Rinse the lentils.
In a medium sauce pot over medium-high heat, warm 1 to 2 teaspoons oil until hot but not smoking. Add the mirepoix, season with salt and pepper, and cook, stirring occasionally, until starting to soften, 3 to 5 minutes. Stir in the tomato paste and cook until starting to caramelize, 1 to 2 minutes. Add the lentils, tomatoes, and 1 cup [2 cups] water and bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer. Cook until the lentils are tender and the liquid is absorbed, 15 to 18 minutes.
Working in batches if needed, stir in the spinach and cook until just wilted, 1 to 2 minutes. Remove from the heat and season to taste with salt and pepper. Cover and keep warm. While the lentils are simmering, prepare the fish.

Prep and cook the fish
- Pat the fish dry with a paper towel. (If using king salmon, cut in half crosswise.) Season the fish generously with salt and pepper and the smoky spice blend.
- Strip the parsley leaves from the stems; coarsely chop the leaves for garnish.
In a large frying pan over medium-high heat, warm 1 to 2 teaspoons oil until hot but not smoking.
For skin-on king salmon: Add the fish, skin side down, and cook until the skin is crisp, 4 to 5 minutes. Turn and cook until the flesh is opaque and flaky, 2 to 3 minutes.
For skinless salmon: Add the fish and cook until lightly browned on the bottom side, 4 to 5 minutes. Turn and cook until the flesh is opaque and flaky, 2 to 4 minutes.
For halibut: Add the fish and cook until lightly browned on the bottom side, 4 to 5 minutes. Turn and cook until the flesh is opaque and flaky, 2 to 4 minutes.
