Grilled Herb-Crusted Mackerel
Serves 2
INGREDIENTS
1 tbsp finely chopped fresh dill
1 tbsp finely chopped fresh mint
2 tbsp freshly grated ginger
Grated zest and juice of 1 lemon
2 garlic cloves, crushed
Big pinch of salt
2 x 150g mackerel fillets
2 tbsp olive oil
50g rocket
50g watercress 100g radishes, finely chopped
For the dressing:
2 tbsp olive oil
2 tsp lemon juice
2 tsp mustard pinch of salt
METHOD
Mix the chopped herbs, ginger, lemon zest and juice and garlic in a bowl with the salt to make a marinade.
Score the mackerel on the skin side, put in a dish and rub in the marinade.
Pop in the fridge and leave for 2 hours if possible to soak up all of those flavours. Take the fish out of the fridge.
Pour the oil into a griddle pan or frying pan over a medium-high heat. Place the mackerel fillets in the pan and cook for 4 minutes on each side, so the fish is cooked through. Whisk the dressing ingredients together.
Place the rocket, watercress and radish slivers on a serving platter and top with the fish. Finish off by drizzling over the dressing.
