Ingredients

8 unpeeled baby potatoes, washed

400g can no-added salt brown lentils, drained

2 cups (60g) baby spinach leaves

250g cherry tomatoes, quartered

3 spring onions, ends trimmed and chopped (including green tops)

1/3 cup chopped parsley

Olive or Canola spray

4 x 120g fillets firm white fish (Barramundi, Snapper, Hake, Ling, Perch, Mackerel, Cod, Seabass or Coral trout)

Lemon wedges to serve

Dressing

1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar

1 teaspoon honey wholegrain mustard

Method

Place unpeeled potatoes in a saucepan and cover with water. Bring to the boil and allow to simmer for 10 minutes or until you can easily pierce them with a knife. Drain and set aside.
While the potatoes are cooking, combine the brown lentils, spinach, tomatoes, spring onions and parsley in a large bowl.
In a separate small bowl combine balsamic vinegar and mustard to make a dressing. Mix dressing through the lentil salad.
Lightly spray a large non-stick frypan with oil and heat over medium heat. Add fish and cook each side for 2-3 minutes or until golden and cooked through.
Serve fish with potatoes, lentil salad and lemon wedges.
