COOK THE LENTILS
Boil the kettle. Dilute the stock with 350ml of boiling water. Place a pot over a medium heat with a drizzle of oil. When hot, fry the diced onion for 1-2 minutes until soft and translucent, shifting occasionally. Add the grated garlic and fry for about a minute until fragrant. Add the rinsed green lentils, stir in the diluted stock, and bring to a simmer. Cook (without a lid) for 15-20 minutes until al dente, stirring occasionally. If it starts to dry out, add more water to continue the cooking process.
LEMON & DILL MARINADE
Place three-quarters of the chopped dill in a shallow dish. Add some lemon zest to taste, the juice from 1 lemon wedge, and 1 tsp of oil. Season to taste and mix to combine. Pop the trout fillet in the dish, evenly coat, and set aside to marinate for at least 10 minutes.
SAUTÉ THE SPINACH
Place a nonstick pan over a medium heat with a small drizzle of oil. When hot, sauté the chopped spinach for 2-3 minutes until wilted. Remove the pan from the heat on completion. When the lentils are cooked, stir through the sautéed spinach and chopped parsley. Season to taste, remove from the heat, and pop on a lid. Set aside to keep warm while frying the trout.
TERRIFIC TROUT
Return the pan to a medium-high heat with another drizzle of oil. When hot, fry the trout skin-side down for 2-3 minutes. Once the skin is crispy, baste the fillet with some of the marinade left in the dish. Flip, and fry for a further 30-60 seconds or until cooked to your preference. Remove from the pan on completion.
TUCK IN
Dish up a pile of nutritious lentils and spinach. Sprinkle with some fresh julienne beetroot and top with the zesty trout. Garnish with the remaining chopped dill and a sprinkle of lemon zest to taste. Don't forget to place a lemon wedge on the side! Delicious and nutritious.
