Bring a large saucepan of unsalted water to the boil. Add the lentils and boil gently for about 20 minutes or until the lentils are tender. Drain and place in a warm salad bowl
Add the oil, garlic, capers, onion, parsley, tomatoes and rocket. Mix well so the rocket wilts
Meanwhile, brush the salmon with extra virgin olive oil, season and place in a roasting dish. Place in the oven for 10 minutes or until the salmon is just cooked. Remove and break in large pieces
Serve the salmon pieces on the warm salad and serve the sour cream on the side
