Istruzioni
- 1.Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F). Rinse the Puy lentils under cold water.
- 2.Heat 15ml of olive oil in a medium, oven-safe skillet over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté for 3-4 minutes until softened. Add the minced garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.
- 3.Stir in the rinsed lentils, vegetable broth, and whole cherry tomatoes. Bring to a simmer, then reduce heat to low, cover, and cook for 15-20 minutes, or until lentils are nearly tender and have absorbed most of the liquid.
- 4.Pat the cod fillets dry with a paper towel and season both sides with salt and pepper. Zest the lemon directly over the fish.
- 5.Nestle the cod fillets into the lentils in the skillet. Scatter the Kalamata olives around the fish. Drizzle the remaining 15ml of olive oil over the top.
- 6.Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the cod is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.
- 7.Carefully remove the skillet from the oven. Squeeze the juice from half the lemon over the entire dish and garnish with fresh chopped dill or parsley before serving.
