Alpine Salmon with Oven Squash and Balsamic Lentils

Soak mountain lentils overnight. Then boil in lightly salted water with root vegetables, thyme, peppercorns and bay leaf until soft and quench.

For the oven squash, cut the squash flesh into 1 cm cubes. Heat the butter, brown the pumpkin in it and deglaze with vinegar, season and braise with 1 tablespoon of sugar in the oven at 170 °C, covered for 20 minutes. In the meantime, boil the tomatoes in a little water for about 5 minutes. Drain and boil the red lentils in this broth. (This will help them retain their red color).

In a pan, sauté the shallots in hot fat, add the mountain and red lentils and pour some cooking broth. Add butter and mix in the vegetables cut into brunoise. (Keep some of the vegetables for the sauce.) Season with balsamic vinegar, thyme, salt and pepper.

Just before serving, toast the bacon until crisp. Sprinkle the toasted bacon cubes over the top.For the prosciutto flour, fry the thinly sliced prosciutto in the oven until crispy, let cool and finely chop (makes a wonderful seasoning!).

Cut the alpine salmon into 8 equal pieces, salt, brush with butter and cook in the steamer at 80 °C for 5-7 minutes depending on the thickness of the fillet or cook with some fish stock at low heat in a covered pan. In any case, the fish should still be glazed on the inside. Peel off the skin, sprinkle the outside with the prepared “prosciutto flour” and coat 2 fillets at a time.
