Fillet the mackerels, debone them and sponge them off using a paper towel. Lay them flat on a baking sheet, skin up, making sure the fillets don’t touch each other. Set aside in the refrigerator.

In a large pot of boiling, salted water, cook green beans for about 4 minutes, then cool them down immediately in ice water. Cut green beans into 3 cm long pieces. Set aside.

In a large bowl, pour sour cream, vinegar and olive oil. Blend well and season to taste. Add green beans and toss well, making sure beans are covered in creamy vinaigrette. Set aside.

Season mackerel fillets on both sides with salt and Espelette style pepper. Sprinkle a generous amount of sugar onto the fillets, keeping them skin side up.

Light up your baker’s blowtorch and flambé the mackerel fillets, about 30–45 seconds per fillet, doing your best not to burn the sugar more than needed. The heat from the blowtorch will cook the fish, and the burnt sugar will give the crispy effect of sugar on a crème brûlée.
