Ingredients

1/4 cup fresh orange juice
1 teaspoon finely grated orange zest
5 teaspoons olive oil, divided
1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
3/4 teaspoon kosher salt, divided
1/2 teaspoon Dijon mustard
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper, divided
1 package (17 ounces) steamed lentils (or 3 cups canned, rinsed and drained)
1/4 cup chopped mint
2 tablespoons finely chopped red onion
4 arctic char fillets (5 ounces each), skin removed
Orange slices and mint sprigs for garnish
