Instrucciones
- 1.Preheat oven to 200°C. Halve the bell peppers, remove seeds, and place cut-side down on a baking sheet. Roast for 20-25 minutes until the skin is blistered and charred.
- 2.While peppers roast, combine the rinsed lentils and vegetable broth in a saucepan. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat, cover, and simmer for 20-25 minutes until tender. Drain any excess liquid.
- 3.Once the peppers are cool enough to handle, peel off the skin and chop the flesh into small pieces.
- 4.In a large bowl, combine the cooked lentils, roasted peppers, diced red onion, minced garlic, chopped parsley, lemon zest, 30ml of olive oil, and the juice of half a lemon. Season with salt and pepper and toss well.
- 5.Pat the mackerel fillets dry with a paper towel and season both sides with salt and pepper.
- 6.Heat the remaining 15ml of olive oil in a non-stick pan over medium-high heat. Place the mackerel skin-side down and cook for 3-4 minutes until the skin is crisp and golden.
- 7.Flip the fillets and cook for another 2-3 minutes until just cooked through.
- 8.To serve, divide the warm lentil salad between two plates and top each with a crispy mackerel fillet. Squeeze over any remaining lemon juice if desired.
