- 3 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil

Tip
Adapt it - Watercress, potato & mackerel soupIn a pan, gently fry the onion in a little oil, then tip in the potatoes (you need to peel them for this). Cover with vegetable stock. Cook for 15 mins until softened, then crush with a potato masher and stir in the watercress. Heat through and top with large flakes of mackerel.
Method
Whisk together the Sherry or wine vinegar, mustard and oil with some seasoning. Boil the potatoes in salted water until easily pierced with a knife, about 10 mins. Toss in a bowl with threequarters of the dressing and onion slices, then leave to cool a little.
Cut the peel and pith from the orange, then cut into thick slices. Toss the watercress into the salad, then divide between 2 plates and top with the oranges, fish and the remaining dressing.
