With the heat I appreciate fresh dishes, with lots of colorful vegetables. Mackerel prepared in this way loses some of its strong flavor and becomes more digestible. A nice fresh dish, healthy and nutritious, to bring mackerel to the table in a pleasant way.

Procedure for making marinated mackerel
Take a pan of sufficient size to hold the fish without bending it, the ideal would be an oval casserole. Boil water and wine with the herbs and salt, when it reaches boiling put the fish. Cook covered for 15/20 minutes.
Check to see if it comes away from the plug, leave it for a few more minutes. Remove it gently from the broth without breaking it and let it cool.
Clean the mackerel by removing the central spine and the small spines, place the fillets lying in a container of adequate size.
For the marinade, emulsify the oil with the lemon juice and pour it over the fish fillets. Let it rest all night. Clean and wash the vegetables, cut the escarole leaves, red radicchio and Belgian salad into fillets. Finely slice the carrots and fennel and put the dish in place, placing the vegetables arranged in a radius and the mackerel fillets in the center. Sprinkle with the marinade, a sprinkling of pepper (only for groups 0 and B) and decorate with the sprouts. I find it a typical fresh summer recipe.
