Chef's Note

A recipe from Patrick Mathey of the Marée Haute Restaurant in the Magdalen Islands, putting the spotlight on a local ingredient.

"I like to serve the mackerel on a mixture of green and red oak leaf lettuce, arugula and frisée, with a dressing containing a hint of soy sauce."

Ingredients

- 100 ml (6 tbsp.) soy sauce

- 25 ml (5 tsp.) olive oil

- Chopped shallots

- 4 cloves of garlic

- 1 piece of fresh ginger

- Flour

Method

In a deep dish, marinate the mackerel for 12 hours with all the ingredients except the flour;
drain; dip each steak into flour; deep fry for a few moments until the fish is very lightly browned;
serve hot on the salad.

Dressing

Make the dressing with 1 part balsamic vinegar and 2 parts olive oil;
add a little soy sauce and some small pieces of roasted garlic. Drizzle over the greens.
