An Easy Salmon and Lentils Recipe Big on Flavor (and Legumes)

"Beans get a lot of love. Lentils, not so much. A search on Bon Appétit reveals 999 recipes for beans but just 75 for lentils, indicating a bias."

"My favorite lentils are black Beluga, perfect for frying in olive oil until crispy. The technique of frying lentils can enhance many meals."

"This recipe combines slow-roasted salmon over crispy lentils, with classic flavors from sautéed carrot, fennel, and onion, illustrating how lentils can shine."

"Cook lentils until al dente, as you'll finish cooking them later. When finished, cool them down and let them drain thoroughly for the best texture."
