Anleitung
- 1.Rinse the lentils, then place them in a small saucepan with 300ml of water. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 20-25 minutes until tender but not mushy. Drain any excess water.
- 2.While the lentils cook, preheat your oven to 200°C. Chop the red bell pepper into small pieces and halve the cherry tomatoes. Toss them with half the olive oil, salt, and pepper on a baking sheet. Roast for 15-20 minutes until softened and slightly caramelized.
- 3.Finely chop the red onion and parsley, and mince the garlic. In a medium bowl, combine the cooked lentils, roasted vegetables, onion, parsley, and garlic.
- 4.Squeeze the juice from half the lemon over the lentil mixture and stir to combine. Season the salsa with salt and pepper to your liking.
- 5.Pat the cod fillets dry with a paper towel and season both sides with salt and pepper. Heat the remaining olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat.
- 6.Carefully place the cod in the hot pan and cook for 3-4 minutes per side, until golden brown and cooked through. The fish should flake easily with a fork.
- 7.To serve, divide the warm lentil salsa between two plates and place a pan-seared cod fillet on top. Garnish with a little extra parsley if desired.
