Salmon Poached in Harissa Coconut Lentils

This was really good- even my kids liked it! it was my first time cooking with harissa paste. I made it using the recipe in this app and it was really good! My salmon fillets were really thick, 2-3”, and took much longer to cook. Next time I’ll slice the thicker fillets a bit smaller. Great dish!

Loved this! My harissa wasn’t that spicy so would add more than 3tbsp for 4 portions next time. I’ve cooked extra for lunch the next day. I served with a mix of wild rice/quinoa just a microwave packet but it didn’t need it. I think it would be better with some sourdough or flatbread to soak up the sauce. I’ve never really eaten lentils so I was pleasantly surprised and would definitely cook again.

Lovely quick recipe. Swapped fresh tomatoes for tinned ones and lentils for chickpeas. Will have with rice or couscous.

Really easy, really tasty. We used mixed beans instead of lentils and also added cauliflower florets to the sauce.

Great recipe, easy to cook and very tasty!

This is one of our favourites. It’s very tasty and a good way to have salmon for dinner

Pretty good! Had regular lentils and no tumeric, might be 5 stars if i have those , but overall an easy and delicious dish

Second time now I made this, so delicious. Easy and fairly quick to cook, smells good.

We love this recipe, it's probably in our top 5 from this app. Always tastes yummy and love the beluga lentils, I might increase the amount we add next time just to get a few extras in for scooping up with the sauce! The only change we sometimes make is swapping the spinach for cavolo nero as we prefer it.

Delicious dish! I make it with cod and it’s a real crowd pleaser.

Easy to cook and delicious. I meal prep this for a dinner and 3 days worth of lunches.

Swapped red onion for the shallots and chopped tomatoes for the passata for some additional texture. We both loved this one!

Delicious dish. The brand of Harissa I used wasn’t strong enough would have liked more. Never tried Beluga lentils before, loved them. The pickled red onions are a must to cut through the coconut rich sauce. Yum!

Wow we loved this, delicious and filling. Made a note to turn the salmon as there wasn’t enough sauce, cooking for 2, to submerge the salmon

Question 400ml can of coconut milk or 200mil can?

We really enjoyed this meal and it was really filling

Lovely recipe, I made lots of substitutions, fish- used Basa, no red onion pickle used silver skinned (loved those pops of flavour), didn’t have beluga lentils so used green. Ended up with a really tasty, easy dish. 10/10!

I do like harissa and I like this dish

Very simple to make

Amazingly speedy and simple.

Simple to put together and very tasty. Portion size is quite large for two people. Very filling!

I was a bit worried there were a lot of bold flavours in this dish which wouldn't work together, but I couldn't be more wrong. This is an amazing dish!! So, so good! Put in a bit less Harissa paste, and cooked the salmon in the oven first so I could get the scales off easily, and had it with rice. 10/10 would recommend.

Delicious, we accompanied with a mixture of bulger and red quinoa. Another new favourite.

We used halibut as had some in the freezer. Was delicious and really enjoyed it over some rice. Would maybe add some black olives next time.

This was delicious, my salmon needed longer to cook than recipe timing but not an issue. I did do wholegrain rice as an accompaniment
to soak up some of the sauce. Definitely will be on repeat

Great weeknight recipe. I used frozen cod fillets instead of salmon as that’s what I had. All diners were impressed.

Def making this again. It would have been simpler without having to make up coconut milk and defrost frozen spinach but still easy enough but reward with so much flavour .. Added extra coriander

Added chickpeas - very tasty - will definitely try again 👊🏼

I found this spicy and tasty

Absolutely delicious! Second time making this recipe:)

I make with chicken breast also added a tin of chickpeas, and served it over some steamed broccoli and cauliflower. Loved it and will definitely make again.

This dish is easy to make and delicious! It’s easy to customise, I’ve made it with tinned brown lentils, Basa fillets and also chicken breast. You could easily use frozen spinach instead of fresh and it wouldn’t make a difference.

So flavoursome! Easy to make and a real winner with our family. Served it on a base of brown rice to balance the heat of the harissa. ;-)

Great flavours and just loved the red pickled onion as a finishing touch. I did it with tofu but I can imagine this would be good with fish or chicken. I also added chickpeas as well 👍

Really tasty & everything was from Fridge/Freezer/Store cupboard a big bonus! I used smoked Halibut fillet simply because I had them but maybe not my best choice. Will definitely make this again but maybe cod next time . Not sure if I want such a full flavoured sauce with Salmon ? Very filling

Fantastic recipe. Very tasty. The red onion pickle elevates the end dish. Lovely

A very colourful and yummy dish. Easy prep, cook, eat.

Loved this dish. Could have added two more pieces of salmon as there was a lot of sauce left over. Had the left over lentils for lunch the next day! Will be making this a staple dish for sure

Super tasty. Switching to chicken for the protein works well

Such a tasty dish. Relatively easy to prep and cook. I don’t like tomato skins when the tomatoes softened so had to pick them out, but that’s just me. Will definitely cook again. Felt clean and wholesome. Love the Doctors recipes absolutely know there is no rubbish in them.

Was unsure how this would go with the young adults in the house but they all loved it. Really fresh and filling

Just cooked and eaten and had to come here to say how delicious this dish is, thank you so much again Dr’s Kitchen team! I’m not sure if this reduces the cholesterol concerns or not people may have. In this recipe, not having tinned coconut, I cracked open a drinking coconut that I had and blended the flesh with the coconut water - it was the perfect amount for the recipe and a thinner consistency than canned coconut (thus less saturated fats I’m thinking 🤔 ) Worked out delicious, also added asparagus for more veggies. Not having harissa sauce I added chilli’s, nigella, coriander, cumin and fennel seeds at the start - I think it substituted quite well great flavour anyhow!

This is really lovely, warming and filling. It would be nice to have a recipe for homemade harissa on the app, as it is used for so many dishes.

I used bassa fillets instead of salmon and reduced the amount of Harissa paste. This was absolutely delicious. Definitely a regular meal from now on.

Delicious

Tasty dish, recommend

Would like to click on a choice of Method without pictures for print out.

Amazing, its got a little heat, really filling will absolutely be making this again its so tasty 😊

Tinned lentils and tomatoes and frozen spinach so all you need is salmon !

Oooooh this was nice
