Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Heat oven to 375 degrees. Pour lentils into a small pan. Add coriander, bay leaf and water to cover by one-half inch. Bring to boil; reduce heat to a simmer. Cook, partly covered, until lentils are just tender, 25 minutes. Drain excess water; discard bay leaf. Season with salt.

  2. Step 2

    Meanwhile, with a vegetable peeler, peel zucchini into wide, thin strips the length of the zucchini.

  3. Step 3

    Place a large nonstick pan over medium-high heat for one minute. Add olive oil and 2 tablespoons butter. Season salmon with salt and pepper. Lay fillets in pan, skin-side down. Sauté until crisp on the bottom, about 2 minutes. Transfer pan to oven, and continue roasting until rare in center only, about 9 minutes. Transfer fillets to a plate to rest.

  4. Step 4

    In a medium sauté pan, melt remaining 2 tablespoons butter over medium-high heat. Add zucchini and toss to coat. Season with salt and pepper. Cook until just soft on the edges, about 3 minutes. Add lentils and toss. Divide among 4 plates. Lay a salmon fillet on top of each.
