A delicious, one-dish fish entrée with a professional layered look
Green lentils form the base of this delicious fish dish, while a green fresh-herb sauce with plenty of flavor and phytonutrients to top things off. Simple, roasted cod (good for your heart) goes right in-between, creating a pretty layered look you’d expect from a restaurant chef. Easy enough for weeknight dinners, but special enough for weekend guests.
