Progression
2/cooking of the salmon : either on a plancha (1 minute each side) or fried panned in the remaining oil quantity 1.5 minutes on each side. After cooking, lay the escalopes on absorbing paper
3/put the frying pan under heat again (you have kept the fat inside), pour the drained lentils in it (without the bayleaf), stir with the fried duck breast cubes and serve
Presentation :
Spread the lentils and meat cubes into nice dishes, cover with an escalope, put on one side of the escalope a little salt "flower" and some crushed black pepper and on the other side a few roastes sesam seeds
The combination of the tastes of salmon, duck breast, plus the texture of salt, pepper and sesam make this "diet" recipe a noble one !
