Instruções
- 1.Rinse 120g of buckwheat. In a saucepan, combine with 240ml of water and a pinch of salt. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat, cover, and simmer for 15-20 minutes until water is absorbed.
- 2.While the buckwheat cooks, prepare the salad. In a large bowl, combine the diced beetroot, sliced fennel, sliced red onion, and chopped dill.
- 3.In a small bowl, create the dressing by whisking together 20ml of olive oil, the juice and zest of half a lemon, and the minced garlic. Season with salt and pepper.
- 4.Once cooked, fluff the buckwheat with a fork and add it to the vegetable bowl. Pour over half of the dressing and toss gently to combine.
- 5.Pat the mackerel fillets dry and season with salt and pepper. Heat a non-stick pan over medium-high heat. Place fillets skin-side down and cook for 3-4 minutes until the skin is crisp, then flip and cook for 1-2 minutes more.
- 6.Divide the warm buckwheat salad between two plates. Top each with a pan-seared mackerel fillet, and drizzle with the remaining dressing and a final squeeze of lemon juice before serving.
