Upute za pripremu

1. 1.Prepare the vegetables. Thinly slice the red onion and mince the garlic. Trim the fennel bulb, reserving some fronds for garnish. Cut the bulb in half and then into thin slices.
2. 2.Zest the orange and then juice it into a small bowl. Set both aside.
3. 3.In a large pan over medium heat, add 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Sauté the sliced onion and fennel for 5-7 minutes until they begin to soften. Add the minced garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.
4. 4.Pour the orange juice and vegetable stock over the fennel. Season with salt and pepper. Bring to a simmer, then reduce heat, cover, and let it braise for 10-12 minutes until the fennel is tender.
5. 5.While the fennel braises, prepare the mackerel. Pat the fillets dry with a paper towel and score the skin lightly. Season both sides with salt and pepper.
6. 6.Heat the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a separate non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Place the mackerel fillets skin-side down and cook for 3-4 minutes until the skin is golden and crispy.
7. 7.Flip the fillets and cook for another 1-2 minutes until just cooked through. Remove from heat.
8. 8.Stir the orange zest into the braised fennel. To serve, spoon the fennel mixture onto two plates and top each with a crispy mackerel fillet. Garnish with reserved fennel fronds or fresh dill.
