Instruções
- 1.Pat the sea bream fillets dry with a paper towel and score the skin a few times. Season both sides generously with salt and pepper.
- 2.Heat half the olive oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Place the fillets skin-side down and press gently for 30 seconds to ensure the skin makes full contact with the pan.
- 3.Cook for 3-4 minutes until the skin is golden and crispy. Flip the fillets and cook for another 1-2 minutes until the fish is opaque and cooked through. Remove from the pan and set aside.
- 4.In the same skillet, add the remaining olive oil. Sauté the sliced red onion for 2-3 minutes until it begins to soften. Add the minced garlic and cook for one more minute until fragrant.
- 5.Add the halved cherry tomatoes and cook for 2-3 minutes until they start to soften and release their juices. Stir in the cooked lentils and fresh spinach.
- 6.Continue to stir gently until the spinach has just wilted. Remove the skillet from the heat, stir in the lemon juice and optional chopped parsley. Season the warm lentil salad to taste with salt and pepper.
- 7.Divide the warm lentil salad between two plates and place a pan-seared sea bream fillet on top of each. Serve immediately.
