Instrukcje

- 4.Pat the cod fillets dry. Season them with salt, pepper, the remaining olive oil (15ml), and the juice of half the lemon.
- 5.Place the cod fillets on the baking sheet alongside the vegetables and roast for an additional 10-12 minutes, until the fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.
- 6.Drain any excess liquid from the cooked lentils and stir in the minced garlic and chopped fresh parsley.
- 7.To serve, create a bed of the herbed lentils on each plate, top with the roasted vegetables, and finish with a baked cod fillet. Garnish with a fresh wedge from the remaining lemon half.
