3. Heat a griddle or frying pan over medium-high heat with the extra virgin olive oil and cook the mackerel for 3 minutes per side, skin first, until the skin is crisp and the flesh opaque.
4. Split the baguette and warm it cut side down on the same griddle for 1 minute, until lightly toasted.
5. Fill it with lettuce, tomato, mackerel and onion and finish with a squeeze of lemon.
