Fiery Keto Cod with Artichoke and Lentils
What Started it all:
Cod, Artichoke, lentils, sous vide
<em>In a bold and confident manner, I start by preparing the ingredients for this fiery keto dish.</em>
Ingredients
- 4 cod fillets
- 1 can of artichoke hearts
- 1 cup of lentils
- Salt
- Pepper
- Olive oil
- Garlic
- Lemon
- Fresh herbs (such as thyme or rosemary)
Instructions
- Start by preparing the sous vide for the cod fillets. Season the cod with salt, pepper, and a drizzle of olive oil. Place the fillets in a sous vide bag and cook them at 130°F for 20-25 minutes, until they are perfectly cooked through.
- While the cod is cooking, prepare the artichoke hearts. Drain and rinse them, then quarter them and set aside.
- In a separate pot, cook the lentils according to the package instructions. Once cooked, drain any excess water and set the lentils aside.
- Heat a skillet over medium-high heat and add a drizzle of olive oil. Add minced garlic and sauté until fragrant.
- Add the artichoke hearts to the skillet and sauté until they start to brown slightly.
- Gently fold in the cooked lentils and continue to cook for a few minutes until everything is heated through.
- Season the artichoke and lentil mixture with salt, pepper, and a squeeze of fresh lemon juice.
- As the flavors meld together, remove the cod from the sous vide and carefully pat dry with paper towels.
- In a separate hot skillet, sear the cod fillets on each side until they develop a golden crust.
- Serve the fiery keto cod on a bed of the artichoke and lentil mixture, garnished with fresh herbs and an extra squeeze of lemon.
