Prep Time

5 minutes

Cook Time

20 minutes

Serves

2

Ingredients

100g porridge oats

1 egg

2 mackerel fillets

Juice of half a lemon

100g mushrooms, sliced

100g spinach leaves

Pinch ground nutmeg

1 tbsp pine nuts, toasted

Salt and freshly ground black pepper

Method

Sprinkle the oats onto a plate and season with a pinch of salt and plenty of pepper. Beat one of the eggs in a shallow bowl. Dip each kipper fillet into the egg and roll it in the seasoned oats.

Line a roasting tin with a sheet of Bacofoil® Non-Stick foil, dull side up. Place the mackerel in the tin and squeeze over the lemon juice before cooking for 15 minutes at 200°C/Gas mark 6.

Meanwhile, place the sliced mushrooms on a baking sheet (lined again with a sheet of Bacofoil® Non-Stick) and place under a hot grill for 3-4 minutes.

Put the spinach in a pan with a splash of boiling water and cook over a medium heat until just wilted.

When ready to serve, drain the spinach and season with salt and pepper and a pinch of nutmeg, and sprinkle over the pine nuts. Tip the grilled mushrooms and the released juices over the spinach and divide between two plates. Top each one with a mackerel fillet.
