Roast Salmon with Spanakopita Lentils and Yoghurt

We love crisp-skinned salmon, but sometimes we don’t love the smell. Roasting in a hot oven eliminates the odour while being fuss-free, not to mention a super-tender result.

Cook Salmon

Place salmon on a small baking tray lined with baking paper. Drizzle with remaining olive oil, squeeze over a little lemon juice from the remaining lemon and season with salt and pepper. Roast for 8-10 minutes or until just pink in the centre. If you prefer your salmon well done, roast for a further 1–2 minutes.

Plate up

When salmon is cooked, return lentil mixture to high heat and bring to the boil. Remove from heat, stir through half the yoghurt and mix to combine. Flake salmon into large pieces. Divide spanakopita lentils between bowls, top with flaked salmon, remaining yoghurt and scatter with reserved herbs. Serve with remaining lemon wedges.
