Step By Step

Instructions

<strong>Preparation</strong>

1
Preheat the oven to 350°F.
2
Remove the fish from its package and pat dry with paper towels.
3
Zest one whole lemon over the fish evenly, then season with salt. 
4
Allow the fish to cure for 10 minutes, then rinse under cold running water. Pat dry with a paper towel and set aside at room temperature.
5
Mince the onion and celery.
6
Pick and finely chop parsley. Thinly slice the chives.

<strong>How to Cook</strong>

1
In a medium pot over high heat, heat the olive oil.
2
Add the minced onion and celery and cook for 2-3 minutes or until translucent.  Season with a sprinkle of salt.
3
Add the chicken stock and bring to the boil.
4
Add the bay leaf and the lentils into the pot along with a pinch of salt.
5
Turn the heat down to maintain a simmer. Simmer until cooked through, about 20 minutes. Once cooked, turn the heat off and cover.
6
Place the sablefish filets onto a sheet tray and rub with olive oil.
7
Transfer the tray to the oven and cook for 10-12 minutes or until the sablefish begins to flake.
8
To plate: Place a small mound of lentils at the bottom of a plate.  Top with the sablefish filets.  Sprinkle a few drops of lemon juice on top and add one final pinch of salt to finish.  Enjoy!
