Instrucciones
- 1.Preheat your oven to 200°C. While it heats, rinse the Puy lentils under cold water.
- 2.In a saucepan, bring the vegetable broth to a boil. Add the lentils, reduce the heat to a simmer, and cook for 20-25 minutes until tender but still holding their shape. Drain any excess liquid.
- 3.On a large baking tray, toss the chopped bell pepper, zucchini, and red onion with half of the olive oil (15ml), salt, and pepper. Roast for 15 minutes until they begin to soften.
- 4.Remove the tray from the oven. Add the cooked lentils, cherry tomatoes, and minced garlic to the roasted vegetables. Stir everything together to combine.
- 5.Pat the cod fillets dry with a paper towel and season both sides with salt, pepper, and the dried oregano.
- 6.Nestle the cod fillets on top of the lentil and vegetable mixture. Drizzle the remaining olive oil and the juice of half the lemon over the fish and vegetables.
- 7.Return the tray to the oven and bake for another 12-15 minutes, or until the cod is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.
- 8.Garnish with fresh parsley and lemon zest before serving. Serve immediately with the remaining lemon half cut into wedges.
