Can't believe I finished all of this...

pan seared salmon with a side of vegetable lentils
Let me start by saying that I am not a huge fish person.  I usually stick with tilapia and have to drown it in butter and lemon juice so that I do not taste a *hint* of anything fishy.  I grew up in Chicago...what can I say?!  I have tried salmon before, numerous times, hoping that my taste buds would change and that I would all of a sudden enjoy the fish flavor.
While I can't say that I will confidently order salmon off the menu the next time we go out, I can say that this salmon was yummmmmy (I did squeeze lemon all over it) and I loved the lentils! Woohoo!
