Method
step 1
Peel and finely slice the shallots. Put them in a dish, squeeze over one of the lemons. Zest the remaining lemon into a bowl and then slice the pith off all over and cut the lemon segments out of the pith into the same bowl.
step 2
Oil the skin-side of each mackerel fillet and lay them on a baking sheet. Mix the harissa and cumin with a little oil and brush this over the flesh-side, season with some salt. Heat a grill to high and grill the fillets until they start to blister, about 2-3 minutes.
step 3
Drain the shallots and mix with the chickpeas, lemon zest and segments, herbs and a little olive oil. Serve 2 mackerel fillets per person with some of the chickpeas.
