Instructies
- 1.Rinse the lentils, place them in a pot with 400ml of water, bring to a boil, then simmer for 20-25 minutes until tender. Drain any excess water.
- 2.While the lentils cook, toast the hazelnuts in a dry pan over medium heat for 3-5 minutes until fragrant. Remove and roughly chop.
- 3.Cut the asparagus into 3-4 cm pieces. Steam or blanch them for 3-4 minutes until tender-crisp. Plunge into cold water to stop the cooking process.
- 4.In a large bowl, combine the cooked lentils, chopped asparagus, toasted hazelnuts, and finely chopped shallot.

- 6.Pat the sea bass fillets dry and season both sides with salt and pepper. Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat with a little olive oil.
- 7.Place the fillets skin-side down and cook for 3-4 minutes until the skin is golden and crispy. Flip and cook for another 1-2 minutes until the fish is cooked through.
- 8.Spoon the warm lentil salad onto two plates and top each with a crispy sea bass fillet. Serve immediately with a wedge of lemon.
