1 Put the lentils into a pan, cover with water, bring
to the boil and simmer until tender.
2 Season the salmon fillets with a little pepper
before wrapping them in the prosciutto slices. Leave
some of the flesh exposed.
3 Drizzle with olive oil and roast in the oven for
around 10 minutes until the prosciutto is golden.
Feel free to cook the salmon for less time if pinker
is to your liking.

and season carefully with salt, pepper, lemon juice

5 Just before serving, stir the herbs and spinach
into the lentils on a high heat, until wilted.

a drizzle of lightly seasoned yoghurt.
