Instrukcje
- 1.Prepare the vegetables. Thinly slice the fennel bulb (reserving some fronds for garnish), halve the cherry tomatoes, and finely slice the garlic.
- 2.Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large pan over medium heat. Add the sliced fennel with a pinch of salt and cook for 5-7 minutes until it begins to soften and caramelize slightly.
- 3.Add the sliced garlic and halved cherry tomatoes to the pan. Cook for another 3-4 minutes until the tomatoes soften and release their juices. Squeeze in the juice of half a lemon.
- 4.While the vegetables cook, heat the remaining tablespoon of olive oil in a separate non-stick frying pan over medium-high heat. Pat the mackerel fillets dry and season both sides with salt and pepper.
- 5.Place the mackerel fillets skin-side down in the hot pan. Cook for 3-4 minutes until the skin is golden and crispy, then flip and cook for another 1-2 minutes until the fish is opaque.
- 6.To serve, divide the fennel and tomato mixture between two plates. Place a mackerel fillet on top, skin-side up. Garnish with chopped parsley, reserved fennel fronds, and serve with the remaining lemon wedges.
