Preheat the grill to medium-high.<\/p>\n Put the peppers skin-side up on a baking tray, drizzle with oil and grill for 15 minutes until they become charred. Place in a bowl and cover with cling film. Leave to cool and then peel of the skin. Chop the peppers into chunks.<\/p>\n Place in a large bowl then add the olives and basil.<\/p>\n Put the chopped onion in a sieve and run under cold water, drain and then add to the bowl. Mix together the extra virgin olive oil, Ale-Gar (or red wine vinegar) and garlic. Pour over the salad and stir well. Set aside for 15 minutes.<\/p>\n Mix 1 tablespoon of the olive oil and the paprika together. Slash the fish skin, diagonally at 2cm intervals. Brush on the paprika oil mixture and season the fillets with salt and pepper. Place them skin-side up on a baking tray.<\/p>\n Grill for 4-5 minutes until the skin is crisp and the fish is just cooked.<\/p>\n Drizzle the bread with the remaining oil and toast each side until golden.<\/p>\n Place a slice of toast on each plate and spoon over some pepper salad onto each of them. Top with the grilled mackerel.[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”1_4″ _builder_version=”4.16″ custom_padding=”|||” global_colors_info=”{}” custom_padding__hover=”|||”][et_pb_text admin_label=”Notes on Ingredients Text” _builder_version=”4.17.3″ text_font=”||||||||” text_text_color=”#000000″ text_line_height=”1.6em” header_3_font=”Arvo|700||on|||||” header_3_text_color=”#853d01″ header_3_font_size=”17px” background_color=”rgba(112,191,227,0.27)” background_size=”initial” background_position=”top_left” background_repeat=”repeat” custom_margin=”7px||||false|false” custom_padding=”13px|13px|13px|13px|false|false” hover_enabled=”0″ use_border_color=”off” border_color=”#ffffff” border_style=”solid” global_colors_info=”{}” sticky_enabled=”0″]<\/p>\n Although smoked paprika is widely available, we can recommend using the one from The Artisan Smokehouse<\/strong><\/a>. It has a wonderful colour and aroma and sweet delicate smoke flavour from being smoked over maple wood.<\/p>\n\n
