Direcciones
- For mustard-herb butter:
- Stir together all ingredients with 1/4 teaspoon each of salt and pepper.
- For lentils:
- Bring lentils, water, and 3/4 teaspoon salt to a boil in a heavy saucepan, then reduce heat and simmer, uncovered, until lentils are just tender, about 25 minutes. Remove from heat and let stand 5 minutes. Reserve 1/2 cup 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 3 tablespoons 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.
- For Salmon (while Leeks cook):
- Pat salmon dry and sprinkle with 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper.
- 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.

I really enjoyed this combination of salmon with lentils and leeks. The mild flavors of the salmon, leeks, and lentils are complemented nicely by the mustard-herb butter.Yo he cocinado/probado esta receta
