Original recipe (1X) yields 4 servings ¾ cup brown lentils ½ cup chopped red onion plus 1/4 cup thinly sliced, divided 2 cloves garlic, minced ¾ teaspoon salt ¼ cup extra-virgin olive oil 3 tablespoons red-wine vinegar ¾ teaspoon dried thyme ¼ teaspoon ground pepper 1 15-ounce can salmon, drained 1 cup carrot ribbons 1 cup sliced celery 4 medium lemon wedges for serving Directions Bring a medium saucepan of water to a boil. Add lentils and chopped onion, reduce heat to maintain a lively simmer and cook until the lentils are just tender, 11 to 13 minutes. Drain well. Meanwhile, mash garlic and salt into a paste with the side of a chef's knife (or a fork). Transfer to a medium bowl and whisk in oil, vinegar, thyme and pepper. Remove any skin and/or bones from salmon; flake the salmon into a large bowl. Add sliced onion, carrot and 3 tablespoons of the dressing; gently toss to coat. Add celery and the lentils to the remaining dressing; gently stir to combine. Divide the lentils among 4 bowls, top with the salmon salad and serve with lemon wedges.
