Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F.
For the salmon, heat a dry oven-proof saute pan over high heat for 4 minutes. Meanwhile, rub both sides of the salmon fillets with olive oil and season the tops very liberally with salt and pepper. When the pan is very hot, place the salmon fillets seasoning-sides down in the pan and cook over medium heat without moving them for 2 minutes, until very browned. Turn the fillets and place the pan in the oven for 5 to 7 minutes, until the salmon is cooked rare. Spoon a mound of lentils on each plate and place a salmon fillet on top. Serve hot.
Place the chickens, onions, carrots, celery, parsnips, parsley, thyme, dill, garlic, salt, and peppercorns in a 16 to 20-quart stockpot with 7 quarts of water and bring to a boil. Skim the surface, as needed. Simmer uncovered for 4 hours. Strain the entire contents of the pot through a colander, discarding the chicken and vegetables, and chill.

Tips:

Use fresh, high-quality ingredients. This will make a big difference in the flavor of your dish. Look for salmon that is bright in color and has a mild, fresh smell. Lentils should be plump and free of debris.
Cook the lentils al dente. This means they should be tender but still have a slight bite to them. Overcooked lentils will be mushy and bland.
Don't overcrowd the pan when cooking the salmon. This will prevent it from cooking evenly. Give the salmon plenty of space so that it can sear properly.
Season the salmon liberally with salt and pepper. This will help to enhance its flavor.
Don't overcook the salmon. Salmon is a delicate fish, so it's important to cook it carefully. Overcooked salmon will be dry and tough.
Serve the salmon immediately. Salmon is best enjoyed when it's hot and fresh out of the pan.

Conclusion:

This golden salmon on a bed of lentils is a delicious and healthy meal that's perfect for any occasion. The salmon is cooked to perfection and the lentils are tender and flavorful. The combination of the two is simply irresistible. If you're looking for a new and exciting way to enjoy salmon, this recipe is definitely worth trying.
