Ingredients

Honey Vinaigrette:

1/3 cup seasoned rice wine vinegar

1 tablespoon Dijon mustard

1 teaspoon honey

1/2 teaspoon kosher salt

1/4 teaspoon cracked black pepper

2 cloves garlic, minced

1/3 cup vegetable oil

Salmon:

Four 6-ounce salmon fillets, 1 to 1 1/2-inches thick

Olive oil, for drizzling

Kosher salt and cracked black pepper

Lentil Salad:

1 cup lentils, cooked according to package directions

1/2 cup toasted and chopped pecans

1/3 cup halved sugar snap peas, ends removed

4 scallions, diced

2 medium avocados, diced

Juice of 1 lemon

Directions

For the honey vinaigrette: Add the rice wine vinegar, Dijon, honey, salt, pepper and garlic to a food processor or blender and pulse. Slowly blend while adding the oil in a steady stream. Remove 1/4 cup of the dressing for the salmon, reserving the rest for the salad.
For the salmon: Preheat the broiler to high and adjust the oven rack 6 inches from the broiler. Drizzle the salmon with olive oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Place the salmon skin-side down on a foil-lined sheet tray. Broil the salmon 6 inches from the heat 10 to 12 minutes, then brush with the reserved dressing.
For the lentil salad: Toss together the cooked lentils, pecans, sugar snap peas, scallions, avocados, lemon juice and red pepper. Dress the salad just before serving.
Serve the broiled salmon over the lentil salad.
