Cooking the dish according to the recipe:

In a medium saucepan, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat. Add the ginger, garlic, shallot, curry powder, and 1/2 teaspoon of paprika. Cook, stirring, for 3 minutes, until the shallots are softened. Add the bell pepper and cook for 2 minutes, until slightly softened.

Add the lentils, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 2.5 cups water. Increase the heat and bring the mixture to a boil. Cover loosely and cook, stirring frequently, for about 15 minutes, until the lentils are tender. Adjust the heat so that the liquid remains at a gentle simmer. Remove the lid and cook for another 5-10 minutes, until the mixture thickens. Add lemon juice and salt to taste.
Preheat the oven to broil. Place the salmon skin-side down on a foil-lined baking sheet. Sprinkle with 1/2 teaspoon of salt and the remaining 1 teaspoon of paprika and broil for 6-8 minutes, or until cooked through.
