MACKEREL CURED IN OLIVE OIL
Mackerel is a wonderful fish to buy when it is in season. It is inexpensive and intensely flavored, and when it is preserved in oil this way, you can keep it as long as a month; you'll have in your fridge a delicious treasure to draw on for a quick appetizer or lunch dish. The most common size is 11 to 12 inches, and the filleting and boning of these small fish can be quite a job. So, unless you are feeling ambitious, get your fishmonger to do the work.

Steps:
- Lay the mackerel in a single layer in an 11- or 12-inch skillet, preferably stainless steel. The pan should be just big enough so that the fish fillets, nestled side by side, cover the bottom. Pour 2 cups or more water and the lemon juice over the fillets to cover them, and sprinkle half the peppercorns and 1 teaspoon of the salt over.
- Set the pan over medium heat, and bring to a slow rolling boil. Turn down the heat, and simmer gently for 15 minutes.
- Prop up a large wooden or plastic cutting board at a moderate angle, tipping toward the sink. When the fillets are done (to check: the point of a knife should slip through the center easily), remove them carefully from the pan with a slotted spatula and lay them on the board. Let them drain and cool completely.
- Select a shallow glass or ceramic dish that will just hold the fillets in one layer, or you can use a smaller, slightly deeper dish that will accommodate two layers of fillets. Arrange the mackerel in whichever dish, sprinkle each layer lightly with salt and the remaining peppercorns, and pour in enough of the olive oil to cover the fillets.
- If you are using the mackerel the same day, let it marinate for 2 to 3 hours at room temperature. Otherwise, cover securely with plastic wrap and store for up to a month in the refrigerator. Bring back to room temperature 2 hours before serving.
MARINATED MACKEREL WITH GREEN OLIVE & CELERY DRESSING
Mackerel is undoubtedly a British superfood but it can leave your kitchen full of pungent aromas. You can avoid this by lightly pickling instead of cooking it, like in this fresh-tasting recipe

Steps:
- Lay the mackerel fillets, skinside down, in a shallow dish, then sprinkle with the fennel seeds and 1 1/2 tbsp flaky salt, making sure you cover the fish evenly. Cover with cling film and put in the fridge for 1 hr, then remove, wash off the salt and fennel seeds, and pat the fish dry with kitchen paper.
- Return the fish to the shallow dish, skin-side up, pour over the olive oil and scatter over the shallots. Put the sugar, lemon juice and vinegar in a small saucepan and bring to the boil, then pour the hot liquid over the fish. Leave to cool, cover in cling film and put in the fridge to marinate overnight.
- The next day, remove the fish from the fridge 1 hr before serving to bring it to room temperature, then transfer to a serving plate. Stir in the olives, celery and celery leaves. Leave for a few mins, then serve with lemon wedges and a couple of spoonfuls of crème fraîche.

Steps:
- Put one of the mackerel fillets on a board and cut a 'V' down the centre, either side of the pin bones, to create two smaller fillets, then remove the bones. Repeat with the other fillet. Rub with the oil and season with plenty of ground black pepper. Set aside.
- Put the fennel in a bowl with the beetroot, cucumber and apple. Drizzle over the lemon juice, add the yogurt and mix well. Roughly chop the dill, putting aside a few fronds to garnish, and scatter over the salad, then season with ground black pepper and toss together lightly. Set aside.
- Put a large non-stick frying pan over a medium-high heat. When hot, add the fish, skin-side down, and cook for 2 1/2 mins. Flip the fish over and cook for 30 secs on the other side.
- Put the fillets on top of the salad and serve with the dill fronds and lemon wedges for squeezing over.

MACKEREL WITH LEMON OLIVE OIL AND TOMATOES
Mackerel is a sustainable, velvety, sweet-tasting fish that deserves more attention than it usually gets. Here, the pale fillets are roasted on a bed of fragrant basil leaves with a lemon zest-infused olive oil, chopped olives and juicy cherry tomatoes. If you have a bottle of cold-pressed lemon olive oil on hand, you can use it here in place of making your own. If infusing your own oil, feel free to use either a regular lemon or a Meyer lemon. Leftover lemon oil is great on salads, tossed with vegetables, or drizzled over avocado toast.

Steps:
- Make the oil: In a small saucepan over medium heat, warm the olive oil and lemon zest until you see the first tiny bubble appear on the side of the pan. Immediately turn off heat. You don't want the mixture to simmer.
- Let infuse for at least 20 minutes (and preferably an hour) before using; you do not have to strain it. Oil can be made up to a month in advance. Store in a sealed jar at room temperature.
- When ready to prepare the fish, heat oven to 425 degrees. Place the basil leaves on a rimmed baking dish and arrange fish on top. Sprinkle fish with salt and pepper, then drizzle the lemon oil over the fillets. Top with olives. Scatter tomatoes around the pan.
- Roast until the fish is just cooked through, 5 to 7 minutes for thin fillets and up to 12 minutes for thick fillets.
- Cut naked lemon into wedges. Serve fish drizzled with more lemon oil, garnished with lemon wedges and torn basil leaves.
