Grilled Mackerel Salad with Pea & Coriander Dressing

Jump to Recipe Print Recipe

This is my type of lunch, it’s quick, full of flavour and nutritious. I am guilty of just grabbing a few things for lunch and normally eat, the thrown together plate, standing up, resulting in me starving by late afternoon.

In an effort to be a bit more conscience of lunch, I am creating very quick recipes that takes me less than 15-minutes to make, but is still full of flavour and preferably with enough leftovers for the following days lunch.

Why you should make this dish:

  • it takes 15-minutes to make
  • its packed full of protein
  • its packed full of healthy fats
  • its full of fibre 
  • it will keep you saturated until supper
  • is full of flavour
  • it makes excellent leftovers!

I don’t use my air-fryer much, it’s really for my student girls but I do find it excellent at cooking fish. Fish loves to be cooked quickly and at a high temperature. I am sensitive to fish and meat smells in my kitchen so I think the air-frying works a treat at keeping the kitchen fish smells limited.
