INGREDIENTS
5 ounces White Fish Fillet
1/2 cup Cooked Lentils
1 cup Cauliflower florets
1.5 tbsp Extra Virgin Olive Oil
2 tbsp Fresh Lime Juice
2 tbsp Fresh Cilantro, chopped
1 clove Garlic
1 tsp Ground Cumin
1 tsp Ground Turmeric
1 tsp Garam Masala
Salt and Black Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
In a small bowl, combine 1 tablespoon of olive oil, lime juice, chopped cilantro, minced garlic, ground cumin, ground turmeric, salt, and pepper to create a vibrant marinade.
Pat the fish dry and coat it evenly with the marinade. Let it sit for 10 minutes to absorb the flavors.
Preheat your oven to 425°F. On a baking sheet, toss the cauliflower florets with a drizzle of olive oil (reserve any remaining oil from the marinade if desired), a pinch of salt, pepper, and a little extra turmeric and cumin for an extra layer of flavor. Roast the cauliflower for 20-25 minutes until golden and tender.
While the cauliflower roasts, heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the marinated fish for about 3-4 minutes per side, or until it's opaque and flakes easily with a fork.
In a small saucepan, warm the cooked lentils with a pinch of garam masala and a splash of water, stirring gently until the spices are fragrant and the lentils are heated through.
Plate the seared fish alongside the roasted cauliflower and spiced lentils. Garnish with a sprinkle of fresh cilantro and an extra squeeze of lime if desired, and serve immediately.
