Mackerel Conserva

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Mackerel

    In a pan over medium heat, add olive oil and garlic cloves. Sauté until fragrant. Add the mackerel fillets, skin-side down, and cook for about 5-7 minutes until the skin is crispy. Season with salt and black pepper.

  2. 2

    Add Herbs

    Sprinkle fresh thyme and parsley over the mackerel fillets while they cook. Once cooked, turn off the heat and let them sit in the oil for at least 10 minutes to absorb the flavors.

  3. 3

    Prepare the Red Pepper Toast

    Roast the red bell pepper over an open flame or in a broiler until charred. Let it cool, then peel and slice it. Toast slices of bread until golden brown.

  4. 4

    Assemble the Dish

    On each toasted slice of bread, layer with roasted red pepper slices, then top with mackerel fillets. Drizzle with lemon juice, sprinkle with capers, and season with additional salt and black pepper if desired.
