2 T. olive oil
1 celery stalk, diced
1 small zucchini, diced

Heat lentils and chicken broth to boiling in 2-quart saucepan. Reduce heat to low; cover. Simmer 30 minutes or until lentils are tender. Drain lentils; place in bowl. Meanwhile, preheat oven to 450ºF or preheat grill. Brush salmon fillets with salt and 1 T. TABASCO® Green Sauce. Cook 20 minutes, turning once or until fish flakes easily when tested with fork.
