Talimatlar
- 1.Preheat your oven to 200°C (180°C fan). Place the mackerel fillets skin-side down on a baking tray lined with parchment paper. Drizzle with 15ml of olive oil, sprinkle with lemon zest, salt, and pepper. Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until cooked through and flaky.
- 2.While the mackerel bakes, cook the lentils. Place the rinsed lentils in a saucepan with 500ml of water. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 20-25 minutes, or until tender but not mushy. Drain any excess water and set aside.
- 3.In a large pan or skillet, heat the remaining 30ml of olive oil over medium heat. Add the sliced red onion and cook for 5-7 minutes until softened and translucent. Add the minced garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.
- 4.Add the fresh spinach to the pan in handfuls, stirring until it wilts completely. This should take about 2-3 minutes.
- 5.Add the cooked lentils and halved cherry tomatoes to the pan with the spinach and onion. Stir gently to combine and heat through for 2 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.
- 6.Remove the lentil mixture from the heat. Stir in the lemon juice and chopped fresh parsley. Divide the warm lentil salad between two plates and top each with a baked mackerel fillet to serve.
