Istruzioni
- 1.Prepare the warm salad. In a large pan, heat 15ml of olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped red onion and minced garlic, sautéing for 2-3 minutes until fragrant and softened.
- 2.Add the thinly sliced fennel and vegetable broth to the pan. Cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the fennel is tender-crisp.
- 3.Stir in the cooked Beluga lentils and cook for another 2 minutes until everything is heated through. Remove from heat. In a small bowl, whisk together the remaining 15ml olive oil, lemon juice, and fresh dill. Pour this vinaigrette over the lentil mixture and toss to combine.
- 4.Prepare the hake. Pat the fillets completely dry with a paper towel and season both sides generously with salt and pepper.
- 5.Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat with a light drizzle of oil. Carefully place the hake fillets in the pan and sear for 3-4 minutes per side, until golden brown and cooked through. The fish should flake easily with a fork.
- 6.To serve, divide the warm lentil and fennel salad between two plates. Gently place a seared hake fillet on top of the salad and serve immediately.
