Pan-fried mackerel with orange salsa
Mackerel is not only a sustainable fish, it's also rich in omega-3 and cooks in minutes - great with a citrus sauce

- Rub the fillets on both sides with the paprika and a little salt, then set aside. Mix the orange segments with the shallot, olives, parsley and a good grinding of black pepper.
- Heat the oil in a large frying pan and fry the mackerel on both sides for 2-3 mins. Serve with the salsa and some new potatoes and green beans, if you like.
TIP
To segment oranges: sit orange on a chopping board, slice off the top and bottom, then cut in downward strokes to remove all the peel and pith. Cut each segment free by slicing between the membranes.
TIP
If you can't find smoked paprika, use a small pinch of mild chilli powder instead.
