Moroccan Spiced Salmon over Lentils, This is a wonderful spicy fish dish with a tomato sauce & lentils , Awesome is all I can say So full of flavour, we absolutely loved this! Like Paula, I halved the recipe and served it with some green salad Thanks for sharing!
Made for My Diabetic Recipes / Diabetes Forum, This is so full of flavor and relatively easy to prepare The recipe was reduced to 2 servings and I was able to reduce the amount of oil called for The salmon was seared in an oven proof pan and then placed in the oven to complete the cooking process Both DH and I enjoyed this recipe Made for *Zaar Tag*
