salmon with lentils and mustard-herb butter

For quite a while now I have avoided cooking salmon, in fear of it not living up to my step mom Cindy's incredible salmon. While still no salmon can be as great as Cindy's salmon, this dish came pretty darn close.

I made french green lentils sauteed with leeks, butter, fresh lemon juice, and a homemade mustard-herb butter. The mustard-herb butter consisted of butter (surprising, I know!), fresh chives, fresh tarragon, grainy mustard, and a little fresh squeezed lemon juice. Then, I simply sauteed the salmon with a little bit of butter, salt, and pepper and topped the salmon off with a little more of the mustard-herb butter. I really enjoyed this dish and it felt decently guilt free, if you ignore all of the butter that was in it..:)
