Instructions:
Instructions: 1. Wash lentils in a fine mesh strainer. Place in pot of 1-quart cool, salted water and bring to a simmer. Cook until tender, drain and reserve on a sheet pan.

2. Clean artichokes by removing the tough outer leaves and stem. Cook in salted water with 2 lemon halves. Bring to a simmer and cook until tender, but not falling apart.

For sauce:
1. Strain yogurt overnight in a fine mesh strainer or cheesecloth in order to remove liquid. Whisk in curry, mint and honey.

To assemble:
1. Season the salmon with salt and pepper and liberally spray the fish with vegetable spray. Spray clean grill surface with vegetable spray. Cook on both sides until the fish is slightly translucent in the center.

2. In a hot saute pan, put 1 ounce of olive oil; add the lentils, baby artichokes, olives and spinach. Season with salt and pepper and moisten with chicken stock a little at a time until mixture is hot.

3. Place lentil mixture in the middle of the plate, place artichokes and olives around and lay the fish on top of the lentils. Drizzle curry mint yogurt sauce over the fish.
