Salmon fillets are a great standby for an easy, healthy supper. Wrapped in foil and baked in the oven, they couldn’t be simpler to cook. A zingy sherry vinegar dressing and tasty lardons of pancetta liven up the lentils. Do try and get puy lentils if you can as they’re slightly more expensive but hold their shape well when cooked. Cook for 25 mins and enjoy as a mid-week meal or family supper.
