Method

  1. Preheat the oven to gas 6, 200°C, fan 180°C. Heat the oil in a saucepan over a medium heat. Add the celery, carrot and garlic and cook for 5 mins, then add the lentils and cook for 2 mins. Add the stock and bring to the boil. Reduce the heat and simmer for about 20 mins until the lentils are tender. Stir in the cream and most of the parsley.
  2. Meanwhile, line a baking tray with nonstick baking paper. Wrap each fish fillet in 2 bacon rashers and place on the tray. Bake for 25 mins or until the bacon is crisp and the fish is cooked through.
  3. Meanwhile, steam the fresh greens for 7 mins until tender.
  4. To serve, divide the fresh greens between 4 plates and add the creamy lentils. Top each plate with a fish fillet and garnish with the remaining parsley.
