  • Prep: 10 mins
    Cook: 10 mins
  • Serves 2
  • Easy

Ingredients

  • 300g cauliflower, cut into florets
  • 1 lemon
  • 4 tsp capers, rinsed
  • ½ small bunch flat-leaf parsley, chopped
  • ½ small bunch mint, chopped
  • 2 tsp olive oil
  • 1 small garlic clove, crushed
  • 2 large or 4 small mackerel fillets

Tip
You can swap half the cauliflower for diced boiled potatoes if you’d like to make the salad more substantial.

Method

  1. Heat the grill and bring a pan of water to the boil. Drop the cauliflower into the water, then cook for 4-5 mins until just tender. Zest and juice half the lemon, then mix with the capers, parsley, mint, olive oil and garlic in a salad bowl. When the cauliflower is cooked, drain, then stir into the herby dressing with some seasoning while still hot.

  2. Put the mackerel on a baking tray, zest the remaining lemon half over it, season, then grill for a couple of mins on each side. Cut the lemon into wedges. Serve alongside the mackerel and cauliflower salad.
