Method

  1. Step 1

    In a bowl, toss the kale, onion, ¼ cup (60ml) lemon juice and 1 tsp sea salt flakes. Set aside, tossing occasionally.
  2. Step 2

    In a large saucepan, bring 3 cups (750ml) water to the boil over high heat. Add lentils. Reduce heat to medium-low. Cover and simmer for 20 mins or until lentils are just tender. Drain well. Arrange lentils over a large baking tray to cool completely. Add cooled lentils to kale mixture.
  3. Step 3

    In a medium bowl, whisk soy sauce, miso paste, vinegar, sesame oil, ginger, ⅓ cup (80ml) vegetable oil and remaining 1 tbs lemon juice. Reserve ¼ cup (60ml) dressing in a bowl. Toss kale mixture with ½ tbs of the sesame seeds and the remaining dressing. Season with salt and pepper.
  4. Step 4

    In a large heavy non-stick frying pan over medium heat, add remaining 2 tsp vegetable oil and cook salmon, skin-side down, for 5 mins or until skin is crisp. Turn and cook for 2-3 mins or until mostly opaque with a rosy centre.
  5. Step 5

    Divide salad and salmon among 4 plates. Sprinkle with remaining sesame seeds and serve with reserved dressing and lemon wedges.
