Method

Peel the oranges using a knife. Working over a bowl to catch the juice, carefully divide the oranges into segments, removing all the pith and membranes (and squeezing any residual juice from the spent membranes).

Set aside the juice and segments separately. Remove the skin from the mackerel fillets and break the flesh into bite-sized pieces. Separate the chicory into leaves.

Arrange the watercress, chicory, mackerel and orange segments in a large salad bowl. Whisk the reserved orange juice, oil, mustard and honey together with a little salt and freshly ground black pepper. Drizzle over the salad and serve.
