I'm a big believer that a healthy, filling lunch doesn't need to take hours to prep - and this salmon and lentil nourish bowl is proof of that. Quick to throw together during your lunch break, or prep ahead of time - this is such a nutritious lunch that's packed with fibre, protein, healthy fats, as well as vitamins and minerals. You can't really ask for much more from a lunch!

  • 1tbsp extra virgin olive oil

  • 1tbsp lemon juice

  • 1tsp apple cider vinegar

  • ½ tsp wholegrain mustard

Recipes

  1. Over a medium heat in a frying pan, sauté the onion, pepper and sweetcorn for 5 minutes until they soften.

  2. Add the lentils to the pan, mix and cook for 3 minutes.

  3. Add the spinach and cook until wilted. Take off the heat.

  4. Meanwhile, in a separate frying pan, over a medium heat, cook the salmon fillets until cooked all the way through. This can take between 5-10 mins dependent on the size of the fillets

  5. In a small bowl, make the dressing. Mix together the extra virgin olive oil, lemon juice, apple cider vinegar, wholegrain mustard and dill.

  6. Plate up by adding half the lentil and veg mix to each plate. Spoon over a few teaspoons of the dressing on each plate. Place the salmon on top, add more dressing and sprinkle over the pumpkin seeds.
