- 6.Drizzle the remaining 15ml of olive oil over the fish. Transfer the entire skillet to the preheated oven.
- 7.Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the cod is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.
- 8.Carefully remove the skillet from the oven. Squeeze the juice from the lemon over the fish and lentils before serving.
