For a first try at using Tumeric, this recipe turned out what I would describe as 'scrumdiddelyumptious', but it left my dishes and spots on my wooden table top dyed yellow. I can't remove the spots on the wood. It appears to be permanently yellowed.
 
An interesting recipe. It reminded me a bit of Kedgeree (an Anglo Indian dish with fish, rice and turmeric). Apparently kedgeree was based on the Indian dish Khichdi which used lentils not fish. So you have used lentils and fish (but no rice).

Fish and lentils is quite an unusual combination.

Re the turmeric stains - its happened to me many times (I have a bamboo work surface). They do fade away with time. Well, at least, mine have done.

I had not intended the recipe to duplicate any existing recipe. It was from scratch using my own nogg'n.

I like Salmon and haven't had any in a while, so it was due.

Lemon Juice and Butter are always good on Seafood, no different with Salmon. The mixture of Lentils, the Vegetables, Olive Oil, Butter, Lemon Juice and the Spices, Tumeric and Allspice made for a very zesty mouthful combined with the texture and flavor of the Salmon. It looks simple, but was addictively flavorful. The veggies were cooked just enough to leave them slightly crunchy as well.

This first Tumeric Recipe gave me a good idea how Tumeric will fit in with my other Recipe ideas.

That's what I do with my recipes, too. I love being original whenever possible.
