Place the grill on 160C.

 

Place the Sole's on a tray lined with parchment paper. Squeeze over half of the lemon, pinch of salt and a good sprinkle of chopped parsley. Place under the grill until cooked though between 8-10 minutes.

 

Meanwhile sauté the onions, garlic and chilli flakes in a pan with a drizzle of oil until softened. Add the lentils and cook until warmed through. Squeeze in the other half of the lemon and add the last of the chopped parsley. Stir to coat the lentils then plate them up.
