INGREDIENTS
5 ounces Cod Fillet
1 cup Cooked Lentils
8 spears Asparagus
1.5 teaspoons Extra Virgin Olive Oil
1 tablespoon Lemon Juice
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 425°F.
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and arrange the asparagus spears. Drizzle with olive oil and season lightly with salt and pepper.
Pat the cod fillet dry with a paper towel. Season both sides with salt, pepper, and a squeeze of lemon juice.
Place the cod on a separate parchment-lined baking dish. Bake the cod and asparagus in the oven simultaneously. Roast the asparagus for about 12-15 minutes until tender and slightly crispy on the edges, and bake the cod for 10-12 minutes until it flakes easily with a fork.
While the cod and asparagus are baking, warm the cooked lentils in a small saucepan over low heat. Adjust seasoning with a pinch of salt and a dash of lemon juice if desired.
To serve, place a bed of warm lentils on each plate, top with the baked cod, and arrange the roasted asparagus on the side. Finish with an extra drizzle of lemon juice for brightness if desired.
