  • 2 banana shallots, peeled and sliced into rings
  • 1 tbsp of plain flour
  • 250ml of vegetable oil, plus 1 tbsp extra
  • 1 1/2 tsp salt

Method

  • Heat the butter in a medium-sized, deep-sided frying pan over a medium heat. When the butter is foaming, add the leeks and season with a half-teaspoon of salt. Fry for 3-4 minutes, or until the leeks have softened and are golden-brown

  • When the oil is hot, place the seasoned mackerel fillets, skin-sides down, into the pan and fry for 3-4 minutes, or until the skin is crisp and golden-brown and more than half of the mackerel flesh has turned opaque
  • Remove the pan from the heat, then turn the mackerel fillets over and allow to cook through on the residual heat for a further 1-2 minutes

  • To prepare the salad, sour the double cream with a little fresh lemon juice to taste and store in the fridge for an hour
  • 80ml of double cream
  • lemon juice
