Instructies
- 1.Cook the quinoa according to package directions. Rinse 80g of quinoa, add it to a small pot with 160ml of water, bring to a boil, then reduce heat, cover, and simmer for 15 minutes.
- 2.While the quinoa cooks, toss the broccoli florets with half of the olive oil, salt, and pepper. Heat a large, dry pan over medium-high heat and char the broccoli for 8-10 minutes, turning occasionally, until tender and slightly blackened in spots.
- 3.To make the sauce, whisk together the Greek yogurt, tahini, juice of half a lemon, and minced garlic in a small bowl. Stir in the chopped parsley and thin with a splash of water if needed. Season with a pinch of salt.
- 4.Pat the mackerel fillets dry. Mix the cumin, paprika, and coriander in a small dish, then rub the spice blend onto the fish. Season with salt and pepper.
- 5.Heat the remaining olive oil in the pan. Place mackerel fillets skin-side down and cook for 3-4 minutes until the skin is crisp. Flip and cook for another 2-3 minutes until opaque and cooked through.
- 6.To serve, divide the cooked quinoa between two plates. Top with the charred broccoli and a mackerel fillet. Drizzle generously with the herbed yogurt sauce and serve with the remaining lemon cut into wedges.
