    4 servings

Ingredients

1/4 cup fresh orange juice
1 teaspoon finely grated orange zest
5 teaspoons olive oil, divided
1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
3/4 teaspoon kosher salt, divided
1/2 teaspoon Dijon mustard
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper, divided
1 package (17 ounces) steamed lentils (or 3 cups canned, rinsed and drained)
1/4 cup chopped mint
2 tablespoons finely chopped red onion
4 arctic char fillets (5 ounces each), skin removed
Orange slices and mint sprigs for garnish

Preparation

  1. Heat oven to 400°F. In a bowl, whisk orange juice and zest, 4 teaspoons oil, vinegar, 1/2 teaspoon salt, mustard and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Gently stir in lentils, chopped mint and onion. Arrange fillets on a foil-lined baking sheet. Brush with remaining 1 teaspoon oil; season with remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper.
