25-MINUTE COD WITH LENTILS
Using canned lentils instead of raw saves you at least 30 minutes of cooking time. Here, we simmer them quickly with bacon and red wine to play up their earthy flavor; sliced celery stirred in at the end adds a fresh, crisp note. The lentils make a terrific bed for the mild, meaty cod fillets.

Steps:
- Cook the bacon in a medium saucepan over high heat, stirring frequently, until just brown, 2 to 3 minutes. Add the onion and garlic, and stir constantly until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add the wine, bring to a boil and cook, stirring, to scrape up any bacon and browned bits, for about 1 minute. Stir in the lentils, chicken broth and pepper flakes, and return to a boil. Cover and cook, stirring occasionally and reducing the heat if necessary to maintain a medium boil, until saucy but not watery, about 3 minutes. Remove from the heat, and stir in the celery, celery leaves, 1/2 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper.
- Season the fillets all over with 1/2 teaspoon each salt and pepper. Heat the oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Once the oil shimmers, add the fillets skinned-side down and cook, undisturbed, until crisped and browned, 3 to 4 minutes (the fish should be opaque between the large natural flakes). Flip the fillets, and cook until just beginning to flake, 1 to 2 minutes. Remove the fillets from the skillet, and turn off the heat. Add the butter to the skillet, and allow it to melt and brown.
- Divide the lentils among 4 bowls or soup plates, top each with a fillet and drizzle with browned butter.

COD WITH SPICED RED LENTILS
This dish has quickly become a family favourite. Easy, healthy and delicious, with just the right amount of spiciness. The recipe as-is can come out more like a stew, so if you want it to be a plate (not bowl) dish, decrease the liquid a little and be careful as the cod releases a lot of water when cooking.

Steps:
- Put the lentils in a saucepan with the turmeric and stock. Bring to the boil, cover with a tight-fitting lid and simmer for 20-25 minutes, until the lentils are just tender. Remove from the heat and add salt.
- Heat the oil in a small frying pan. Add the cumin seeds and, when they begin to pop, add the ginger and cayenne pepper. Stir-fry the spices for a few seconds, then pour on to the lentils. Add the lemon juice and the coriander and stir them gently into the mixture.
- Lay the pieces of cod on top of the lentils, cover the pan and then cook gently over a low heat for 10-15 minutes, or until the fish is tender.
- Serve garnished with chopped coriander leaves and one or two lemon wedges.

Steps:
- Prepare lentils:
- Cover lentils with cold water by 1 1/2 inches in a 2-quart saucepan and bring to a boil. Simmer, uncovered, until lentils are just tender, 12 to 25 minutes. Drain in a sieve set over a bowl and reserve 1/2 cup cooking liquid.
- While lentils are simmering, melt butter in a 2- to 3-quart heavy saucepan over moderately low heat, then stir in onion, garlic, and salt and cook, covered, stirring occasionally, until pale golden, about 10 minutes. Remove lid and cook, uncovered, stirring occasionally, until golden, 5 to 10 minutes more.
- Stir in lentils and enough reserved cooking liquid to moisten (1/4 to 1/2 cup) and cook until heated through.
- Just before serving, stir in parsley, lemon juice, pepper, and 1 tablespoon oil.
- Cook fish while onion finishes cooking:
- Pat fish dry and sprinkle with salt and pepper.
- Heat butter and oil in a 10- to 12-inch nonstick skillet over moderately high heat until foam subsides, then sauté fish, turning over once, until browned and just cooked through, 6 to 8 minutes total.
- Serve fish with lentils and drizzle with additional extra-virgin olive oil if desired.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 375˚. Combine the carrots, leeks and 1 cup water in a medium saucepan; season with salt. Bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer and cook, stirring, until the carrots are tender, about 5 minutes (add a few tablespoons of water if necessary). Add the lentils and cook, tossing, until hot, 2 to 3 minutes. Remove from the heat. Add 2 tablespoons each vinegar and olive oil; toss. Season with salt and pepper. Set aside.
- Meanwhile, season the cod all over with salt and pepper. Combine the mustard and garlic in a bowl; spread on one side of the fish. Combine the breadcrumbs and parsley in a shallow bowl. Press the mustard side of the fish into the breadcrumb mixture to coat.
- Heat 2 tablespoons olive oil in a large ovenproof nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the cod crumb-side down; cook until golden brown, about 3 minutes (rotate the skillet as needed for even browning). Carefully flip the fish, transfer the skillet to the oven and bake until cooked through, 8 to 10 minutes.
- Meanwhile, toss the arugula in a large bowl with the remaining 1 teaspoon each vinegar and olive oil; season with salt and pepper. Divide among plates; top with the lentil mixture. Serve with the cod.
