Servings: persons

1 cup green lentils
1 leek sliced into rings
3 tablespoons olive oil
1 carrot cut in cubes
2 bay leaves
1 garlic clove finely chopped
1 lemon
2 mackerel fillets
salt
ground black pepper
herbs Aromatic, parsley, cilantro, thyme, dill

1
In a pot, place the lentils, leek, garlic, carrots, bay leaves, 2 tablespoons of olive oil, and 2 cups of water. Season with salt. Bring to boil on medium heat, and simmer until the lentils are soft and bulging.
2
Season the mackerel fillets with salt and pepper (don't overdo it, because the mackerel already has a strong taste).
3
Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a nonstick skillet. Add the mackerel fillets with the skin down.
4
Sprinkle some chopped aromatic herbs, but save some parsley and coriander to garnish.
5
Let the fillets cook, without stirring, for 5 minutes.
6
Turn them over carefully, and cook for only 1 or 2 minutes. Like all fish, if you overcook it, it will dry out.
7
Pour the lentils in a dish.
8
Squeeze half a lemon on the fish fillets, and remove after 30 seconds so that the juice does not burn the fish, or make it bitter.
9
Arrange the fillets on top of the lentils, garnish with parsley, coriander, and sprouts.
