Crispy Pan-Seared Mackerel with Zesty Lemon
Pan-seared mackerel fillets with a crackling golden skin served over a bed of earthy lentils and vibrant sautéed spinach.
INGREDIENTS
6 oz Mackerel fillets
0.5 cup Cooked brown lentils
2 cup Fresh baby spinach
1 tsp Extra virgin olive oil
1 tbsp Fresh lemon juice
0.5 tsp Lemon zest
0.25 tsp Sea salt
0.25 tsp Black pepper
1 clove Garlic
PREPARATION
Pat the mackerel fillets dry with a paper towel and season both sides with sea salt and black pepper.
Heat the olive oil in a cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering.
Place the mackerel skin-side down in the hot skillet, pressing gently with a spatula for 3-4 minutes until the skin is golden and crispy.
Flip the fillets and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until the fish is opaque and flakes easily.
Remove the fish from the pan and set aside; in the same pan, add the minced garlic and sauté for 30 seconds.
Toss in the baby spinach and cooked lentils, stirring until the spinach is wilted and the lentils are warmed through.
Stir in the lemon juice and lemon zest, then serve the crispy mackerel on top of the lentil and spinach mixture.
