Cooking Steps
- Peel, then thinly slice shallot.
- Zest, then juice lemon.
- Add shallots, lemon juice, honey and 1 tbsp (2 tbsp) water to a small pot. Season with salt.
- Bring to a simmer over medium-high heat. Cook, stirring often, until salt dissolves, 1-2 min.
- Remove from heat. Transfer shallots, including pickling liquid, to a large bowl.
- Meanwhile, finely chop parsley.
- Thinly slice celery crosswise.
- Cut ciabatta into 1/2-inch pieces.
- Using a strainer, drain and rinse lentils.
- Add mustard, lemon zest, half the garlic salt and 1 tbsp (2 tbsp) oil to the bowl with shallots and pickling liquid. Season with pepper, then stir to combine.
- Add lentils and celery, then toss to combine.
- Pat salmon dry with paper towels, then season with salt and pepper. Heat a large non-stick pan over medium-high heat. When hot, add 1/2 tbsp (1 tbsp) oil, then salmon. Pan-fry until golden-brown and cooked through, 3-5 min per side.**
- Wipe out pan and return to medium heat.
- When hot, add walnuts to the dry pan. Toast, stirring often, until golden-brown, 4-5 min. (TIP: Keep your eye on walnuts so they don't burn.)
- Transfer to a plate.
- Reheat the same pan over medium.
- When hot, add 1 tbsp oil, then ciabatta. (NOTE: Don't overcrowd the pan; cook croutons in 2 batches for 4 ppl, using 1 tbsp oil per batch.)
- Season with remaining garlic salt and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until golden-brown on all sides, 3-5 min.
- Transfer croutons to the plate with walnuts.
- Add croutons and arugula and spinach mix to the bowl with marinated lentils. Season with salt and pepper, to taste, then toss to combine.
- Divide salad between plates. Top with salmon, goat cheese, parsley and toasted walnuts.
If you've opted to add salmon, pat salmon dry with paper towels, then season with salt and pepper. Heat a large non-stick pan over medium-high heat. When hot, add 1/2 tbsp (1 tbsp) oil, then salmon. Pan-fry until golden-brown and cooked through, 3-5 min per side.** Wipe out pan before using to toast walnuts in step 4.
