Ingredients

• Green lentils - 100 grams
• Water - 1 liter
• Olive oil - 2 tablespoons
• Onion - 1 medium, finely chopped
• Garlic - 2 cloves, minced
• Carrot - 1 small, diced
• Celery - 1 stalk, diced

• Salt - 1 teaspoon
• Black pepper - 1/2 teaspoon
• Fish fillets (white fish like cod or haddock) - 200 grams
• Lemon juice - 2 tablespoons
• Fresh parsley - 2 tablespoons, chopped

Steps

1. Rinse the lentils under cold water and set aside.
2. In a pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion, garlic, carrot, and celery. Sauté until the vegetables are soft, about 5-7 minutes.
3. Add the diced tomato, cumin, salt, and black pepper to the pot. Stir well and cook for another 3 minutes.
4. Pour in the water and add the rinsed lentils. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low and simmer for about 20 minutes, or until the lentils are tender.
5. While the lentils are cooking, season the fish fillets with lemon juice, salt, and pepper.
6. After the lentils are cooked, carefully place the fish fillets on top of the soup. Cover and steam the fish in the soup for about 5-7 minutes, or until cooked through.
7. Once the fish is cooked, gently stir the soup to combine the flavors. Adjust seasoning if necessary.
8. Serve hot, garnished with chopped fresh parsley.
