4 fresh, cleaned Mackerel
225 g (8oz) Organic Baby Spinach
115 g (4oz) Organic Butter (melted)
30 g (1oz) Organic wholegrain mustard
The rind of one organic lemon (grated)
4 slices organic lemon
2 tbsp of organic lemon juice
3 tbsp of fresh organic parsley (chopped small)
4 sprigs of organic rosemary
Organic salt and pepper

Preparation:

The grill should be preheated

Wash the mackerel under cold water and score the skin by making slashes into the skin, than season to your liking with salt and pepper.

Insert a slice of lemon and a sprig of rosemary into the cavity of each mackerel.
Melt the butter and mix it with the lemon rind, wholegrain mustard, lemon juice and the chopped parsley. Season the butter to your liking.

Brush the mackerel with the mustard-lemon butter, place under the grill and grill for about 10 minutes on each side, brushing with more butter.

Place the organic washed baby spinach on a dinner plate and arrange the grilled mackerel on top.

TIP:

The left over mustard butter can be heated up until slightly brown and poured over the mackarel before serving.

Advice:

ALWAYS wash vegetables and salads, especially if they come in a pre-washed ‘ready-pack’. The ‘old’ water particles can cause salmonella.
