Cooking Instructions

The protein cooking time listed in this recipe has been updated.

As of December 2025, we’ve revised cooking times for all our proteins to reflect improved food safety guidance.

Check out the latest recommended times in our Cooking Guidelines.

  1. Preheat the oven to 240C / fan 220C / gas mark 9. Trim the ends off the beetroot, peel and cut into 6 wedges each. Place on a lined baking tray, drizzle with 1 tsp oil and season with sea salt and black pepper. Roast for 20-25 mins, until soft and golden.
  2. In the meantime, make the lentil salad; remove the tarragon leaves from their stalks and finely chop. Finely chop the coriander. Top and tail the orange. Use a small knife to peel and remove all the pith. Carefully cut out the segments. Roughly chop the capers and the hazelnuts. Drain and rinse the lentils.
  3. Put all the salad ingredients into a mixing bowl and season to taste with sea salt and black pepper, save a few hazelnuts for garnish!
  4. Put the almond yoghurt into a small bowl and mix in the horseradish paste. Season with sea salt and black pepper.
  5. 5 mins before the beetroot is done, add the salmon fillets (skin-side up) and the kale to the baking tray. Add 1 tsp oil and good pinch of salt to the kale and return to the oven, for 5-6 mins, until the kale is crispy and salmon, hot through.
  6. Mix the crispy kale into the lentil salad. Spoon the horseradish cream onto plates and spoon the salad to the side. Place the hot smoked salmon on top, then sprinkle over the remaining hazelnuts.
