pan-roasted atlantic mackerel with swedish mustard-dill sauce
serves 2
3/4#-1# atlantic mackerel fillet
salt and pepper
olive oil
mustard dill sauce
5 t coarse grainy mustard
1t rice wine vinegar or white wine vinegar
3 t sugar
3 t chopped fresh dill (save a sprig for garnish)
2 t olive oil
preheat oven to 375. heat an ovenproof pan or iron skillet over medium high heat and add enough olive oil to just cover the bottom of the pan. place fillets skin side up in pan and let caramelize for 2 minutes or so. flip and pop in oven for another 3-5 minutes (until fillet is just opaque in center). plate the fillets and brush with mustard sauce (garnish with sprig of dill).
this dish is great with build redskin or fingerling potatoes so double the sauce recipe if you want extra.
