Steps

  1. Bring a full kettle of water to the boil. Prepare lemon and parsley. Prepare lentil salad. Dice broccoli florets and stalk 1cm. Place broccoli and a pinch of salt in a heat-proof bowl and cover with boiling water. Cover with a plate and leave for 5-6 minutes, until bright green and tender. Drain, rinse under cold water and leave to drain well.
  2. Drain lentils, rinse and leave to drain well; roughly chop lettuce; peel courgette into ribbons and thinly slice core; cut tomato in half and cut into small wedges. Add all to a medium bowl.
  3. Pat fish dry and remove any remaining scales or bones. Cut any larger fillets in half. Whisk egg in a shallow bowl and mix almond crumb, salt and lemon zest in a second shallow bowl. Dip fish into egg, shaking off excess, then add to almond crumb and turn to coat. Set aside.
  4. Heat oil in a large, non-stick fry-pan on medium heat. Cook fish for 1-2 minutes each side (depending on thickness), until just cooked through. Reduce heat if crumb starts to burn. Season fish when cooked.
  5. While fish cooks, whisk all herb dressing ingredients together in a small bowl. Add dressing to bowl with salad ingredients, along with drained broccoli. Toss well to combine and season.
