Upute za pripremu
- 1.Preheat your oven to 200°C. Cook the pearl barley in a pot of boiling water according to package instructions, typically for 25-30 minutes, until tender.
- 2.While the barley cooks, place the sliced fennel and whole cherry tomatoes on a baking tray. Drizzle with half the olive oil (15ml) and season with salt and pepper. Roast for 20-25 minutes until tender.
- 3.Pat the cod fillets dry. In a small bowl, mix the remaining olive oil (15ml), minced garlic, and the juice of half a lemon. Place the cod on a separate small baking dish or parchment paper.
- 4.Pour the olive oil mixture over the cod fillets and season with salt and pepper. Place the cod in the oven for the final 12-15 minutes of roasting time, or until the fish is opaque and flakes easily.
- 5.Once cooked, drain the barley well. Stir in the chopped fresh parsley, dill, and a squeeze from the remaining lemon half.
- 6.To serve, divide the herbed barley between two plates. Arrange the roasted fennel and tomatoes on top, and place a baked cod fillet alongside.
