Upute za pripremu
- 1.Cook the freekeh according to package directions. Typically, this involves simmering 150g of freekeh in 400ml of water for 15-20 minutes until tender. Drain any excess liquid and set aside.
- 2.While the freekeh cooks, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large pan over medium heat. Add the chopped red onion and sliced fennel, sautéing for 5-7 minutes until softened and lightly caramelized. Add the minced garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.
- 3.Add the halved cherry tomatoes to the pan with the fennel and onion. Cook for 2-3 minutes until they just begin to soften. Remove the vegetables from the pan and combine them in a bowl with the cooked freekeh, lemon zest, and fresh dill.
- 4.Pat the mackerel fillets dry with a paper towel and season both sides with salt and pepper. Heat the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil in the same pan over medium-high heat. Place the fillets skin-side down and cook for 3-4 minutes until the skin is crisp and golden.
- 5.Flip the fillets and cook for another 1-2 minutes until just cooked through. Remove from the pan.
- 6.To serve, divide the warm freekeh salad between two plates. Top each with a pan-seared mackerel fillet. Drizzle with the fresh lemon juice and serve immediately.
