  • 500 g mackerel fillet (4 fillets)
  • 200 g whole grain bread (4 slices)
  • 10 g parsley (0.5 bunch)
  • 60 g capers (jar; 4 tbsp)

Instructions

  1. 1.

    Halve the bell peppers, remove seeds, wash and cut into ~1 cm wide strips lengthwise. Peel the onion, halve it and slice thinly. Mix pepper and onion strips in a bowl with 2 tbsp olive oil, salt and pepper.
