Instrukcje
- 1.Rinse the quinoa under cold water. In a small pot, combine the quinoa with 300ml of water, bring to a boil, then reduce heat, cover, and simmer for 15-20 minutes, or until the water is absorbed. Fluff with a fork.
- 2.While the quinoa cooks, preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F). Thinly slice the fennel and red onion. Mince the garlic. Halve the cherry tomatoes.
- 3.On a baking sheet, toss the sliced fennel, red onion, and cherry tomatoes with half of the olive oil, salt, and pepper. Roast for 15-20 minutes until the fennel is tender and lightly caramelized.
- 4.Pat the mackerel fillets dry and season both sides with salt and pepper. Heat the remaining olive oil in a non-stick pan over medium-high heat. Place the fillets skin-side down and cook for 3-4 minutes until the skin is crispy.
- 5.Flip the mackerel and cook for another 1-2 minutes until just cooked through. Remove from the pan.
- 6.In a large bowl, combine the cooked quinoa, roasted vegetables, minced garlic, and chopped parsley. Drizzle with the juice of half a lemon and toss to combine.
- 7.Divide the warm quinoa salad between two plates and top each with a pan-seared mackerel fillet. Serve immediately with a lemon wedge on the side.
