Broiled Salmon with Mediterranean Lentils image

I used to weight-train to keep myself in shape for my work as a volunteer firefighter, and I often prepared this dish. It's loaded with fiber, protein and antioxidants. Now that I'm a stay-at-home mom, I make it to give me energy to chase the little ones. -Dawn Bryant, Thedford, Nebraska

I didn't have any lentils, so I used quinoa instead. It turned out great!
