Preparation

Step 1

Spread the organic almonds on an ungreased baking pan. Place in a 350-degree oven and bake 5 to 10 minutes or until almonds are light brown; stir once or twice to ensure even browning. Note that almonds will continue to brown slightly after removing from oven.
In medium saucepan over medium-high heat, bring lentils and broth to boil; reduce heat to low, cover and simmer 20 to 25 minutes or until lentils are tender.
Meanwhile, put all whole spices in a grinder and process until well ground, or if using ground spices, combine them in a small bowl.
Coat a skillet lightly with vegetable cooking spray and place over medium-high heat. Add shallot and garlic; sauté about 5 minutes until translucent. Mix in 1 1/4 teaspoons of the spice mixture, 1/4 teaspoon of the salt and 1/4 teaspoon of the pepper. Cook, stirring constantly, for 2 minutes.
In an electric blender, pulse tomatoes just until roughly puréed; add to pan with hot pepper sauce and heat through. Set aside.
In small bowl, mix remaining spices, salt and pepper; rub onto both sides of salmon fillets.
Heat large skillet over medium-high heat. Coat lightly with vegetable cooking spray; add salmon to pan without crowding. Sauté salmon 4 minutes; turn, cover and cook 3 to 6 minutes longer, depending on thickness, or until cooked throughout.
Stir two tablespoons of organic almonds into lentils; divide among four plates. Top with salmon and tomato sauce. Sprinkle with remaining almonds
