• Wash and dry produce. • Pat salmon* dry; season all over with half the thyme (you’ll use the rest later), salt, pepper. • Drizzle oil in a hot large pan. Cook salmon (skin sides down) until skin is crisp, 5-7 minutes. Flip; cook until cooked through, 1-2 minutes more. Transfer to a plate. • Place 2 TBSP butter (4 TBSP for 4) in a small bowl; bring to room temperature. • Roughly chop parsley.
• Meanwhile, in a small pot, combine lentils and their liquid, mirepoix paste, stock concentrate, mustard, half the garlic powder (you’ll use the rest later), and remaining thyme. • Bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer. Cook, stirring occasionally, until lentils are tender and warmed through, 4-6 minutes. TIP: Move on to Step 3 while lentils are cooking!
• Halve and toast ciabatta. • Stir remaining garlic powder into bowl with softened butter. TIP: If butter is not yet softened, place in a small microwave-safe bowl; microwave until softened, 5-10 seconds. • Spread cuts sides of ciabatta with garlic butter; halve on a diagonal.
• Divide lentils between shallow bowls and top with salmon. Drizzle salmon with as much balsamic glaze as you like and garnish with parsley. Serve with garlic bread on the side.
Salmon is fully cooked when internal temperature reaches 145°.
