Instruções
- 1.Preheat your oven to 200°C. In a small pot, combine the rinsed lentils and vegetable broth. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat, cover, and simmer for 20-25 minutes until the lentils are tender. Drain any excess liquid.
- 2.While the lentils cook, chop the bell pepper, zucchini, and red onion into bite-sized pieces. On a large baking sheet, toss these vegetables and the whole cherry tomatoes with 15ml of olive oil, the dried oregano, salt, and pepper.
- 3.Roast the vegetables for 15 minutes. Meanwhile, pat the cod fillets dry with a paper towel and season both sides with salt, pepper, and a squeeze of lemon juice.
- 4.After the vegetables have roasted for 15 minutes, nestle the cod fillets amongst them on the baking sheet. Return to the oven and cook for an additional 10-12 minutes, or until the cod is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.
- 5.Mince the garlic cloves. In a large serving bowl, combine the warm cooked lentils, the roasted vegetables from the pan, the minced garlic, and the chopped fresh parsley.
- 6.Drizzle the lentil salad with the remaining 15ml of olive oil and the juice from half a lemon. Toss gently to combine all the ingredients.
- 7.Divide the warm lentil and vegetable salad between two plates. Top each with a baked cod fillet and serve immediately.
