Miso Mackerel with Passion Fruit Spinach Salad

Unctuous mackerel stands up well to strong flavors, such as this sweet, earthy, and umami marinade featuring miso. A bright, acidic, fruity spinach salad cuts through the richness for balance.

Instructions

Prepare a rimmed baking sheet with foil, rub with a bit of avocado oil to prevent sticking and then lay the mackerel filets, skin side down on the baking sheet.
Combine the miso and coconut aminos and stir until smooth. Spread over each fish filet and set aside at room temperature for 5 minutes. Preheat the oven’s broiler while the fish marinates. When hot, add the fish and broil for 5-10 minutes, or until the fish flakes when tested with a fork.
While the fish cooks, add all the salad ingredients to a large bowl. Toss to combine and then divide the dressed salad between two serving plates. Serve the fish along with the salad.
