PAN-SEARED MACKEREL WITH SWEET PEPPERS AND THYME

Steps:

• Season mackerel with salt, black pepper and paprika. Let fillets rest at room temperature while preparing vegetables.
• Set a large skillet over medium heat and add 5 tablespoons oil. Then add leeks, carrots, bell peppers and thyme, cooking them until they soften, about 10 to 12 minutes. Add garlic, stirring gently, and cook for 2 minutes more. Add wine and cook until most of liquid has evaporated, about 7 minutes. Season to taste with more salt, pepper and sherry vinegar, then transfer to one side of a serving platter.
