Ingredients
    1 teaspoon olive oil
    1/4 cup leek, chopped
    1/4 cup carrot, finely chopped
    2 cloves garlic, minced
    1 cup dried lentils
    1/2 cup water
    1 (14 ounce) can reduced-sodium chicken broth
    1/4 cup celery, chopped
    1 tablespoon fresh parsley, finely chopped
    1 tablespoon sherry wine vinegar
    1/2 - 3/4 teaspoon salt, divided
    1/2 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper, divided
    2 (6 ounce) trout fillets
    cooking spray
Preparation
    Heat oil in a medium pan over medium-high heat.
    Add leeks, carrots, and garlic; saute for 2 minutes.
    Stir in lentils, water, and broth; bring to a boil.
    Cover and reduce heat; simmer for 25 minutes or until lentils are tender and liquid is almost absorbed.
    Remove from heat.
    Add celery, parsley, vinegar, 1/2 tsp salt, and 1/4 tsp pepper; stir to combine with the lentil mixture.
    Preheat broiler.
    Sprinkle fillets with the remaining salt (I omit) and pepper, and place them on a baking sheet coated with cooking spray.
    Broil for 5 minutes or until fish flakes easily with a fork.
    Break fish into chunks and add to lentil mixture.
    Toss gently to combine.
