Smoked Peppered Mackerel Fillets
Peppered, wood-smoked Irish mackerel fillets are a delicious source of natural protein and omega-3. For a light lunch, pair with a cherry tomato and spinach salad.
Step 1
To prepare our Mackerel with Peppers Recipe preheat the oven to 200 degrees centigrade (Gas Mark 6).
Place the peppers on a baking tray and drizzle over 1 tbs of the olive oil and roast in the oven for 10 minutes, until they start to soften.
Step 2
Meanwhile, gently fry the onion, garlic and ras el hanout for 3 minutes over a medium heat. Add the couscous, apricots and lemon zest and continue cooking for 1 minute before pouring in the hot stock.
Cover and remove from the heat, leaving to stand for 10 minutes.
Step 3
After 10 minutes, break the couscous grains with a fork and fold in the flaked mackerel, chopped parsley and toasted flaked almonds.
Give the ingredients a good mix, remove the peppers from the oven and spoon the couscous between the peppers.Return the peppers to the oven for a further 10 minutes and finally serve with a fresh and crisp salad.
