Instructions

    In the Kitchen

  • Using a sharp knife, cut a slice off the top and bottom of each orange.
  • Cut away the skin and white pith, then carefully cut thin segments of flesh and place them in a bowl.
  • In a separate bowl, whisk together apple cider vinegar, Dijon mustard, honey, salt, and black pepper.
  • Slowly drizzle in the olive oil, whisking continuously to form an emulsion. Slowly drizzle in the olive oil, whisking continuously to form an emulsion.
  • Season the mackerel fillets generously with sea salt and black pepper.
  • On the BBQ

  • Soak the Weber cedar plank in water for at least 30 minutes before grilling to prevent burning.
  • Preheat the BBQ for indirect grilling at 180-200°C.
  • Place the soaked cedar plank on the grill over indirect heat and close the lid for 3 minutes to warm it up.
  • Lay the mackerel fillets (skin-side down) on the plank.
  • If using a charcoal BBQ, sprinkle pre-soaked wood chips onto the hot coals. If using a gas BBQ, place wood chips in a smoker box.
  • Close the lid and grill for 10-12 minutes, or until the fish is cooked through and infused with the cedar smoke.
  • Serving & Finishing Touches

  • Toss the lettuce with the honey-mustard dressing and divide among 6 plates.
  • Arrange the orange segments and silver-skinned onions on top.
  • Gently flake the warm mackerel fillets and place them over the salad.
  • Serve immediately and enjoy the smoky, citrusy balance of flavours.
