Directions:
- Make Mustard-Herb Butter:
- Stir together all ingredients with 1/4 teaspoon each of salt and pepper.
- ~~~~
- Cook Lentils:
- Bring lentils, water, and 3/4 teaspoon salt to a boil in a heavy medium saucepan, then reduce heat and simmer, uncovered, until lentils are just tender, 20 to 25 minutes.
- Remove from heat and let stand 5 minutes.
- Reserve 1/2 cup cooking liquid, then drain lentils.
- ~~~~
- While lentils cook, chop leeks, then wash. Cook leeks in butter in a heavy medium skillet over medium-low heat, stirring occasionally, until softened, 6 to 8 minutes.
- Add lentils with reserved cooking liquid to leeks along with 3 tablespoons mustard-herb butter and cook, stirring, until lentils are heated through and butter is melted.
- Add lemon juice and salt and pepper to taste.
- Remove from heat and keep warm, covered.
- ~~~~
- Sauté Salmon While Leeks Cook:
- Pat salmon dry and sprinkle with 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper (total).
- Heat butter in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat until foam subsides, then sauté salmon, turning once, until golden and just cooked through, 6 to 8 minutes total.
- Serve salmon, topped with remaining mustard-herb butter, over lentils.
- ~~~~
- NOTES:
- ~ Mustard-herb butter can be made 1 day ahead and chilled, covered. Soften at room temperature before using (1 hour).
- ~ Lentils can be cooked (but not drained) 1 day ahead and chilled in cooking liquid, covered (once cool).
