In a separate pan, heat remaining 1 Tbsp (15 mL) of oil. Season salmon with salt and pepper and sprinkle with paprika on both sides. Add to pan and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side until desired doneness. Remove from pan and allow to cool for 2-3 minutes. With two forks, flake the salmon into small bite-size pieces and toss on top of the prepared rice and lentils.

Step 5
Garnish with dill and serve.
