Quick & Easy

Indian spiced smoked mackerel

A quick blast under a grill transforms smoked mackerel, warming the fish and infusing it with the flavours in the spiced butter. Serve with a fresh raita that acts as both salad and sauce for a low-calorie lunch.

Ingredients:

  • ½ tsp garam masala
  • pinch dried red chilli flakes
  • 1 tbsp butter, softened
  • 2 x 100g/3½oz smoked mackerel fillets2 tbsp greek-style plain yoghurt
  • 1 tbsp roughly chopped fresh mint
  • ½ lime, juice only
  • ½ cucumber, halved lengthways and thinly sliced
  • 6 radishes, roughly chopped
  • salt

Directions:

  1. To make the raita, mix the yoghurt, mint and a squeeze of lime juice together in a bowl and season with a pinch of salt. Stir in the cucumber and radishes, cover and place in the fridge until ready to use.
  2. Preheat the grill to high and line a baking tray with kitchen foil.
  3. In a small bowl, mix together the garam masala, chilli and butter. Spread the spiced butter onto the mackerel and place the fillets on the baking tray. Grill for 1 minute, or until the butter melts, soaking the spices into the warm fish.
  4. Serve the mackerel immediately with the raita.
