FFwD - Roasted Salmon and Lentils

Roasted salmon and lentils
It has been 37 years since I cooked lentils and I thank Dorie for bringing them back into our lives!  I was a young bride and my husband was going through pilot training in the Air Force.  We had never had lentils but I found a lentil soup recipe and served them to my husband the night before a big flight.  We weren't aware of the potential digestion issues and all I'll say is he survived he but told me to NEVER serve him lentils again.  And I didn't.  Until now.  And he loved them.  Still he has bad memories of his previous lentil experience so didn't eat too many of them.  Tomorrow we'll know if this can become part of our regular dinner rotation or if its a once every 37 year meal!

We both loved this!  I have a chile pepper infused olive oil that I used to coat the salmon before roasting.  So very, very delicious!

Stop by to see what all the French Friday cooks thought of this recipe.

    I had to laugh at your story! My hubby feels the same way about a stroganoff I made when we were first married...but it didn't cause digestive issues...LOL...it was just bad! Glad you both enjoyed :)

    That story is too funny! Every time I make lentils I think I should make them more.

    I hope your husband gave his seal of approval for these to be added into your rotation. This is definitely a keeper recipe at my house. Your dish looks perfect.

    37 years is a long time in between lentils. Glad you both loved this one! Hoping to get mine done for Friday's post. Hope mine is as successful as yours as my sous chef is not excited about lentils.
