Instructions
- 1.Preheat your oven to 200°C. On a baking sheet, toss the asparagus with 15ml of olive oil, salt, and pepper. Roast for 10-12 minutes until tender-crisp.
- 2.While the asparagus is roasting, prepare the sauce. In a small blender or food processor, combine the avocado flesh, lemon juice, dill, parsley, minced garlic, and a pinch of salt. Blend until completely smooth. Add 1-2 tablespoons of water if needed to achieve a creamy consistency.
- 3.Pat the mackerel fillets dry with a paper towel and season both sides generously with salt and pepper.
- 4.Heat the remaining 15ml of olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Once shimmering, carefully place the mackerel fillets skin-side down.
- 5.Sear for 3-4 minutes, pressing down gently on the fillets for the first 30 seconds to ensure crispy skin. Do not move them.
- 6.Flip the fillets and cook for another 2-3 minutes until the fish is opaque and cooked through.
- 7.To serve, divide the roasted asparagus between two plates. Top with a seared mackerel fillet and a generous dollop of the creamy avocado sauce.
