Ingredients
- 80 g chorizo sliced
- 2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
- 60 g baby spinach
- 2 small smoked mackerel fillets
- 1 small tomato sliced into thin wedges
- 1 clove garlic sliced
- ½ avocado sliced
- ½ tbsp lemon juice
- ¼ medium red onion sliced
- salt and pepper to season
Instructions
- Heat a tablespoon of olive oil in a frying pan (skillet) over a high heat. Add the mackerel, cooking for 3-4 minutes on one side until golden. Flip and cook for a further 2-3 minutes until completely cooked through. Flake the fish and set aside.
- Whilst the mackerel is cooking, heat the remaining olive oil in a separate pan over a medium heat and add the chorizo. Fry until golden and the chorizo releases its oils.

- To assemble the salad, add the spinach, tomato, onion and avocado to a serving bowl. Season and toss to combine.
- Add the flaked mackerel and the chorizo and gently combine with the salad.
- Pour over the chorizo oil and lemon juice to serve.
