- Gut the mackerel and cut them into fillets. Put the individual fillets in cooking bags and seal. Dip the bags in preheated water at 53°C for 13-15 minutes. The meat of the mackerel will be incredibly tender. Fish must be blastchilled before being used.
- Peel the potatoes and wash them under cold water. This way you will reduce the starch content. Boil them for 25-30 minutes, until they become soft.
- Divide the capers into two equal parts. The first part must be dried at 55°C for 8 hours; the second is used naturally. Take a grinder and pulverize the dried capers.
- Cut the potatoes into cubes and place them in a small mixer. Add some olive oil, 2 teaspoons of caper powder, whole capers, anchovies and lemon juice.
- Peel the onion and cut it into "petals". Cook them in a solution of oil, vinegar, salt and sugar for 7-8 min. Then, burn them on the surface with a blowtorch.
- Dry the citrus peels at 55°C for 8 hours and pulverize them with a coffee grinder.
- To serve this recipe: on the bottom of the plate put the caper cream, then arrange the fillets and the soft-burned onion petals, pour over some caper powder, a little extra-virgin olive oil mixed with some lemon juice and finally some chives.
- Serve warm.
