Grilled mackerel with Dijon mustard new potatoes & lambs lettuce

Another quick, very simple & cheap idea for lunch for two!  Another non rocket science idea/dish, but that's just exactly what it is, a lunch idea if you're stuck for what to have?

Ingredients:

250g of boneless smoked mackerel from any supermarket 
Enough new potatoes for two people
A bag of green leaves, I really like lambs lettuce
Tea spoon of Dijon mustard
Butter
Salt & pepper
And a dollop of mayonnaise on the side if you're a freak like me!

Simmer the new potatoes in boiling water for about 20 minutes & then take off the heat & leave in the hot water whilst you prepare the rest of this.

Take your pre washed green salad leaves, lambs lettuce mixed in my case here & place a good handful on your plate.

Now heat up a griddle pan on full whack & leave for a minute so it's nice & hot, now take your mackerel & place skin side down on the griddle pan & leave for 45seconds to a minute.  All you want to be aiming for is a really crispy skin on the mackerel & for the fish itself to be warmed through.  Now take off the heat.

Drain your new potatoes, add a large knob of butter, a tea spoon of Dijon mustard & a good seasoning of salt & pepper & mix them up a bit.

Add the potatoes & the mackerel to the plate with the salad on & tuck in.  Simple.



ENJOY!
