Scallion Roasted Fish w/ Black Lentil & Pea Salad
w/ Aleppo & Black Pepper
A light, bright and healthy summery dish with lots of great textures and fresh flavours, fish and pulses are a perfect pairing; this dish comes together quickly! You can cook the lentils in advance if you wish. I used flounder for this recipe; choose whichever fish is fresh in season from your local fishmonger.
