Istruzioni
- 1.Prepare the salad by thinly slicing the fennel bulb and red onion. A mandoline works best for the fennel. Place in a medium bowl.
- 2.Zest the orange and set the zest aside. Carefully slice the skin and pith off the orange, then cut between the membranes to release the segments. Add the segments to the fennel salad.
- 3.Create the dressing by whisking together 30ml of olive oil, the lemon juice, and half of the chopped dill in a small bowl. Season with salt and pepper, then pour over the salad and toss gently.
- 4.Pat the mackerel fillets dry with a paper towel. Season both sides with salt, pepper, and the reserved orange zest.
- 5.Heat the remaining 15ml of olive oil in a non-stick frying pan over medium-high heat. Place the mackerel fillets skin-side down and cook for 3-4 minutes until the skin is crisp and golden.
- 6.Flip the fillets and cook for another 2-3 minutes until the fish is opaque and cooked through.
- 7.Divide the fennel and orange salad between two plates. Place a warm mackerel fillet on top and garnish with the remaining fresh dill before serving.
