- Preheat the oven to gas 5, 190°C, fan 170°C. Heat 1 tbsp of the oil in a large, ovenproof pan. Add the onion and cook for 5 minutes, until softened. Add the garlic, cook for 1 minute, then stir in the lentils, thyme, stock and 100ml (3 1/2fl oz) water. Bring to the boil, then cover, and transfer to the oven for 30 minutes.
- Meanwhile, in a bowl, mix the breadcrumbs with the remaining oil, lemon zest and parsley; season. Press the mixture firmly onto each salmon fillet and set aside.
- Remove the lentils from the oven and stir in the lemon juice, cream and horseradish.
- Increase the oven temperature to gas 6, 200°C, fan 180°C. Arrange the salmon on top of the lentils and return to the oven, uncovered, for a further 10 minutes, or until just cooked through. Serve with salad, if you like.
