Ingredients for 4 people


1 1/4 pound mackerel fillets
1 cup tomato sauce
2 teaspoons extra virgin olive oil
5 1/2 tablespoons butter
3/4 ounce salt-packed anchovies
rinsed
salt to taste
1 handful of parsley
a few drops of fresh lemon juice
1 cup of potato sliced into wedges
4 crostini (toasted slices of bread)
oil for frying as needed.


Ingredients


mackerel
tomato sauce

Preparation 15 minutes preparation + 25 minutes cooking

1
Soften the butter at room temperature. Clean, wash, bone and chop the anchovies, then use a fork to mash the anchovies and butter in a bowl into a smooth paste. Peel the potatoes and cut into small wedges.

2
Rinse in cold water, drain, dry thoroughly and fry in a pan with enough boiling oil to cover the potatoes completely (you can check the temperature by carefully dropping one piece of potato into the oil).

3
When the potatoes are nicely browned, remove them with a slotted spoon and drain them on a paper towel. Lightly salt the mackerel fillets and moisten with the oil.

4
Cook the mackerel on a hot grill for 10 minutes, turning occasionally and drizzling with lemon juice. Grill the crostini until they are golden brown and hot, then spread them with the anchovy butter.

5
Arrange the crostini on a serving platter and top each one with a mackerel fillet.

6
Sprinkle with chopped parsley and decorate with the fried potatoes in the center. Serve with a warm and flavorful tomato sauce on the side.
