Upute za pripremu
- 1.Rinse the pearl barley. In a saucepan, bring 500ml of water or broth to a boil. Add the barley, reduce heat, cover, and simmer for 25-30 minutes, or until tender. Drain any excess liquid.
- 2.While the barley cooks, prepare the dressing. In a small bowl, whisk together 15ml of olive oil, the juice and zest of one lemon, the minced garlic, and half of the chopped dill. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper.
- 3.In a large bowl, combine the warm cooked barley, cubed beetroot, and thinly sliced red onion. Pour the dressing over the salad and toss gently to combine.
- 4.Pat the mackerel fillets dry with a paper towel and season lightly with salt and pepper. Heat the remaining 15ml of olive oil in a non-stick pan over medium-high heat.
- 5.Place the mackerel fillets skin-side down in the hot pan. Cook for 3-4 minutes until the skin is crisp and golden. Flip and cook for another 2-3 minutes until the fish is opaque and cooked through.
- 6.To serve, divide the warm barley and beetroot salad between two plates. Top each with a pan-seared mackerel fillet and garnish with the remaining fresh dill.
