Instructions
  1. To make lentil ragout: In a small saucepan, soak lentils in cool water for 15 minutes. Drain, then cover with fresh water and cook over medium heat until soft but not mushy, about 15 minutes. In a separate pan over medium heat, sauté onion, celery, and garlic in olive oil for 5 minutes. Stir in thyme, tomatoes, and tomato paste. Add vegetable stock and bring to a boil. Reduce heat, cover, and simmer gently for 30-40 minutes. Stir in lentils; season with salt and pepper.
  2. To make potato hash: In a large skillet, add sliced onion and 1 tablespoon olive oil; sauté over medium heat until transparent. Add 1 tablespoon olive oil and potatoes; cook until golden brown and caramelized, stirring occasionally, about 40 minutes. Add thyme and season lightly with salt and pepper. Cover and keep warm on stovetop.
  3. Meanwhile, sauté leeks in oil over high heat until dark and crispy. Drain on a paper towel.
  4. Preheat grill. Brush salmon skins with oil. Season lightly with sea salt and crushed peppercorns. Squeeze lemon over flesh. Hand-crush 1-2 thyme sprigs and sprinkle over top. Grill briefly to avoid drying fish. Keep warm.
  5. To serve, place a dollop of lentil ragout on a plate and top with a dollop of potato hash. Flatten the mound slightly with the back of a spoon and place grilled salmon on top. Garnish with a sprig of fresh thyme and crispy leeks.
