Fillet of Cod in Olive Oil with Lentils

A very simple cooking method that allows the fish to become particularly juicy, making it effortless even for beginners. Do not be afraid of waste: The oil in which the fish is cooked, of course, you can always use repeatedly. Filtered through a sieve and well sealed in a screw-top jar or freezer can, it will keep for a long time in the refrigerator! A word about the fish fillet: Ask your dealer for back fillet pieces from the cod, the so-called “loins”. This English term is usually used for the loin of beef, pork or veal. It actually means “loin” or – in the butcher’s language – “back strand”.

Season the pieces of fish with salt on all sides, place them next to each other in a cooking pot as small as possible, cover them with oil and distribute the spices evenly between them. Heat slowly until the oil begins to “quiver”. Stew the fish pieces in this manner below the boiling point for about ten minutes, watching them closely: They must not get into the boil. When they look white, pull the cooking pot aside. In this way, by the way, they can be kept warm for a while, if it is not possible to serve them on the spot.

Skim off two small ladles of the fish juices that collect at the bottom of the pot and pour into a screw-top jar for the sauce. Shake vigorously until this juice emulsifies with the co-scooped oil. If necessary, repeat in the microwave he
