Directions

1. In a small bowl, mix capers, shallots, garlic, Dijon mustard, lemon juice, parsley, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Gradually whisk in olive oil until the mixture is emulsified. Let the vinaigrette sit for 30 minutes to enhance flavors. Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to a week.
2. Preheat the oven to 400°F. In a baking dish, combine lentils, cherry tomatoes, olives, scallions, and lemon slices. Pour vegetable broth over the mixture, ensuring lentils are submerged. Bake for 30 minutes until lentils are al dente and tomatoes are tender.
3. Pat cod fillets dry with a paper towel and season with salt and pepper. Nestle the fillets among the lentils and vegetables in the baking dish. Roast for 10 to 12 minutes until the fish is opaque and cooked through. Serve immediately with a drizzle of lemon-caper vinaigrette.
