Fabrizio Spanish Crumbed Mackerel with Miso Vinaigrette, and Beans Salad

 

 

Chef Fabrizio kicking my ass in the kitchen!

Where we can, I like to support local produce and use locally sustainable seafood. Do you know the local Spanish mackerel has similar content of Omega 3 fatty acids to that of the salmon? Yet its available locally, mostly wild caught and 3-times cheaper than the salmon. For this dish, the Spanish mackerel pairs so well with the bean salad and miso dressing. Flaxseed is high in Omega 3, fiber and protein! When grounded, its a better alternative to using plain flour. It also imparts a nice nutty flavor.

Miso, besides its wonderful taste and natural seasoning, also packs in antioxidants, protein and fibre.

Can’t get enough of miso…..

If you don't have mackerel, you may use snapper, salmon or cod too. Cheat way to do the dressing - put everything in a jar, close the lid tightly and shake to combine.
