This is really one DELICIOUS dish that is easy to prepare and loads with flavours. The red lentils, mixed vegetables braised in a combination of vegetable stock and sour cream make a creamy and tasty base for the white fish.
- 100 g Onion, diced
- 150 g Carrot, peeled and diced
- 100 g Broccoli stem, peeled and diced
- 2 tbsp Olive oil
- 1 clove Garlic, minced
- 200 g Red lentils
- 400 ml Vegetable stock
- 200 g 10% Sour cream
- 1 tbsp Fresh dill, chopped
- 1 tbsp Butter
- 4 Cod or sea bass fillets
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper
- Heat the olive oil in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add in diced onion, carrot and broccoli stem until softened. Add in minced garlic and red lentils, and cook, stirring, for 1 minute. Pour in stock and sour cream. Bring the mixture to a boil.
- Reduce heat and simmer, stirring occasionally, until the lentils are tender, about 15 minutes. Add in chopped dill and season, to taste, with salt and pepper.
- Melt the butter in a skillet until foaming. Season the fish lightly with salt and black pepper, then sear on both sides for 2 minutes until golden.
- To serve, spoon the lentils onto a serving plate and place the cod on top. Garnish with parsley leaf if desired.

Angie, cod is one my favorite fish to make on aregular basis so I ppreciate a new recipe for it. I'm liking your version of lentils with cream too.

I love cod (New England fish, of course!), and it's great you are adding lentils here. I'm so trying to get more lentils and beans into my meals!
I've never had red lentils but after reading this I want to change that! It looks SO good, bright & colorful, just packed with flavor. Delicious!
Great choice of fish to go with the lentils - looks amazing! Lovely presentation, as always.
Very healthy and enjoyable!

Angie, these are gorgeous. Lovely how the lentils provide a background for the fish.

cod is an excellent choice for dinner; I might add some pesto over it :)
Angie, I don't eat enough fish. When I see a dish that looks *this* good, it makes me wonder why I don't eat more fish! And I'm always interested in a new way to serve lentils.
Wow looks delicious. And pretty as well. such nice combination of colours.
Another wonderful way to add more fish to the weekly menu! Thank you, Angie!
This is a beautiful dish! I usually have my cod steamed, never on lentils before. This sounds so delicious!
I love cod too, in fact very much :) Your light meal dish looks so delicious, must try to make this one day. Thanks for sharing.
I love white fishes. Your bed of lentils looks light and delicious. I will sure try it out!

The addition of sour cream makes this is a fantastic way to serve lentils; and I love your simple treatment of the fish, cooked in butter. Yummy!
I love how deliciously healthy that is. Red lentils are one of my favorite ingredients!
What an elegant dish! Looks like it's so full of flavor too -- the dill is a really nice addition!
Those lentils look amazing! I have never thought to add sour cream to lentils, I bet it is wonderful. I will have to try. I wonder if reduced fat sour cream would work, since it's what I have in my fridge.
Oh I love the looks of those lentils...
What a healthy meal. Meals like this are fantastic because you get your veggies and protein all in one dish. White fish can often look so bland, but this really dresses it up. This is a must try!
What a delicious recipe for cod! I'm not familiar with red lentils, but it looks like a great way to try them out.
wow, this looks so inviting! Lovely flavours!
Looks colorful n inviting:)
I've never cooked red lentils before so I must try and find some next time. The dish looks delicious.
I forget about using cod; our usual fish of choice is salmon or tuna. You've made this dish look so very appealing! I'm ready to try! The creamy lentil dish could indeed stand alone. Thanks for sharing -- and for visiting!
colorful & HEALTHY DISH...
It looks gorgeous!!! Colourful, healthy and tasty!! Never know it's so easy to prepare. Need to give it a try soon. ;)
Lentils and fish are a gorgeous combination people don't do often enough! I know I would love this!!
You are right on all accounts - wonderfully inviting, colorful ( a big plus in dreary winter) and easy. And the biggest plus - looks delicious. People forget healthy can be delicious.
I have copious amounts of lentils in our cabinet and lots of cod in our freezer. And now I have a great recipe that uses both of those things!
cod with red lentils, sounds like a perfect way to get good protein with just about the tastiest combination possible.
Very tempting and nutritious dish,lovely!
Aren't red lentils just wonderful? I love using them in dishes...and I'm always looking for new recipes. This fish sounds perfect. Thank you for sharing it with me! I hope you have a healthy and happy week.

Wow. That looks so delicious. The red lentils really make this dish pop! I've always wanted to experiment with those little gems, and now I really have to soon. Your creation looks wonderful!
It looks incredible! I have a hard time finding red lentils around town. Not sure why. I'll have to make a substitution!
I love cod, but don't always have creative ideas like this for it. Next time I make it, I will have to give this a try! It looks so very delicious, Angie. Thanks for sharing!
Angie, what a lovely way to serve cod...absolutely like the idea of red lentils...so beautifully done :-)
Angie, Your recipes are a work of art..so beautiful and appetizing..
Angie... I do have to eat more lentils. I never think of eating red lentils with anything. The thought doesn't cross my mind. Yet, this recipe is simple and looks really good. It is very difficult - I am finding - to change one's ways.
:)

I love the double dose of healthy protein with wonderful fiber and nutrients from the lentils and veggies. You come up with some fantastic and flavorful dishes, Angie. Thanks for sharing yet another great one :).
We just recently prepared a Bobby Flay dish that called for cod. I know this would be a great white fish. Unfortunately for us, we cannot get fresh cod readily here in Florida (sigh). I have yet to enjoy this variety of fish.
As always, your dish looks awesome.

Cod is my favorite fish and I love red lentils more than any other type. Flavorful, healthy dish.
Angie, I usually serve cod with potatoes. Serving it with lentils is a nice change. Look forward to trying this recipe.
The idea of combining cod with a red lentil pilaf never occurred to me but I love it! I like the veggies also that are part of this dish.
You make everything look so scrumptious! I want to eat this now.
you have a fantastic blog here. Tried Google connect but the page wouldnt load. Will try again later.
Anyway - how did you get your home page to look like that (snapshots of recent recipes on top, and then having to click Read More, the tag clouds at the bottom etc)? Looks real nice!
