Method

1. Slice the zucchini into rounds and grill them on a hot pan until charred, about 4 minutes per side.
2. Finely mince the fresh parsley and the garlic together until they form a coarse paste.
3. In a small bowl, whisk the minced herbs with the olive oil and the juice of half a lemon to create the sauce.
4. Pat the mackerel fillets dry and sear them in a non-stick pan over medium-high heat for 2 minutes per side.
5. Arrange the grilled zucchini on a plate and place the mackerel fillets on top.
6. Spoon the parsley sauce generously over the fish while still hot.
7. Finish with an extra squeeze of lemon and serve immediately.

Tips

• If using fresh mackerel, ensure the pan is very hot before searing to get a crispy skin.
• The parsley sauce also works perfectly as a dip for crusty wholegrain bread.
