Method

Toss together the orange rounds, beetroot, chickpeas, onion, chilli, olives and spinach in a large bowl.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the reserved orange juices, half the olive oil, the tarragon, half the lemon juice and a pinch of salt. Pour this over the beetroot and chickpea mixture and toss together. Divide between 4 serving plates.
Heat the remaining oil in a large nonstick frying pan over a medium heat. Season both sides of the mackerel fillets and fry, skin-side down first, for 2-3 mins each side until cooked through.
Place a fillet on each plate of salad. Swirl the remaining lemon juice in the pan, then spoon over the fish.

Tip: The natural acidity of citrus cuts through the richness of oily fish. The zest and juice can be used to pep up marinades and dressings without the need for as much salt.
