Directions

  1. In a small saucepan, cover the lentils with a couple inches of water, add the clove of garlic, and bring to a simmer over medium-high heat. Cook for 40-45 minutes, until the lentils are tender. Drain well and transfer to a bowl. Drizzle with oil and vinegar and season with salt and pepper while still warm. Toss to coat. Set aside to cool, then stir in the celery, carrot, and green onion.
  2. Soak a cedar plank in water (weigh it down with a pan or other heavy object) for at least an hour. When you’re ready to cook, preheat the grill to medium-high and have a spray bottle filled with water at the ready.
  3. Place the salmon skin-side down on the soaked plank and cover with the lemon slices and marinated lentils. Place the plank directly on the grill and cook covered for 15-20 minutes, spraying any flare-ups, until the edge of the fish flakes with a fork but is still moist in the middle.
