Directions

  1. Place water in a medium saucepan; bring to boiling. Add rice trio. Simmer, covered, for 20 minutes. Add lentil trio. Simmer, covered, for 5 minutes more or until rice and lentils are tender. Drain, if necessary, and set aside.

  2. Prepare Lemon-Fennel Vinaigrette: Whisk together lemon juice, fennel, honey, fennel fronds, garlic, and salt in a small bowl. Slowly add olive oil, whisking continuously. Cover and refrigerate until ready to serve.

  3. Heat oil in a large skillet. Cook kale in hot oil for 2 to 3 minutes or until slightly wilted. Remove from skillet. Season salmon with salt. Add salmon to skillet. Cook over high heat for 10 to 12 minutes or until fish flakes easily when tested with a fork (145 degrees), turning once halfway through. Remove salmon from skillet; cut into pieces.
