Instrukcje
- 1.Rinse the lentils under cold water. In a medium saucepan, combine the lentils and vegetable broth. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to a simmer, cover, and cook for 20-25 minutes until tender but still holding their shape. Drain any excess liquid.
- 2.While the lentils are cooking, prepare the vinaigrette. In a large bowl, whisk together the extra virgin olive oil, lemon juice, lemon zest, minced garlic, and chopped dill. Season generously with black pepper.
- 3.Add the finely sliced red onion and halved cherry tomatoes to the bowl with the vinaigrette.
- 4.Once cooked, add the warm, drained lentils to the bowl. Add the fresh spinach and toss everything together. The heat from the lentils will gently wilt the spinach.
- 5.Pat the mackerel fillets dry with a paper towel and season with black pepper.
- 6.Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Place the mackerel fillets skin-side down and cook for 3-4 minutes, until the skin is golden brown and crispy.
- 7.Flip the fillets and cook for another 1-2 minutes on the other side until cooked through.
- 8.To serve, divide the warm lentil salad between two plates and place a seared mackerel fillet on top of each.
