Method
Based on 4 servings, adjust as needed.
Step 1
Dice the onion and finely chop the garlic and chilli. Pour half of the veg oil into a large, non-stick frying pan or saute pan and turn the heat to low. Add the chopped onion, garlic and chilli and cook for 6 minutes until the onion has softened. Add a pinch of **salt ** as they cook.
Step 2
Add the masala paste and stir well, turn up the heat to medium and cook for a further 2 minutes before tipping in the cooked lentils and coconut milk. Bring to a simmer and cook on a low heat for 15 minutes while you cook the salmon.
Step 3
Place another non-stick frying pan onto the stove and turn the heat to medium-high. Add the remaining vegetable oil and once hot, season the salmon fillets on both sides lay them into the pan, skin side down. Allow to cook until the skin is crispy. This will take about 4 minutes. Add a tbsp of mango chutney to each fillet and spread it around using the back of a spoon before turning the fish over and allowing to cook on the flesh side for a further 4 minutes. The idea is that the mango chutney caramelises and goes slightly charred. Once cooked, turn off the heat and allow the fish to rest.
Step 4
Add the spinach to the masala lentils, turn up the heat and if you have one, place on a lid. Cook for 3 minutes until the spinach has wilted. Check for seasoning before serving in shallow bowls and topping with that deliciously juicy salmon and a scattering of chopped chilli and coriander if you wish.
