- Whisk together the Sherry or wine vinegar, mustard and oil with some seasoning. Boil the potatoes in salted water until easily pierced with a knife, about 10 mins. Toss in a bowl with threequarters of the dressing and onion slices, then leave to cool a little.
- Cut the peel and pith from the orange, then cut into thick slices. Toss the watercress into the salad, then divide between 2 plates and top with the oranges, fish and the remaining dressing.
Adapt it - Watercress, potato & mackerel soup
In a pan, gently fry the onion in a little oil, then tip in the potatoes (you need to peel them for this). Cover with vegetable stock. Cook for 15 mins until softened, then crush with a potato masher and stir in the watercress. Heat through and top with large flakes of mackerel.
