Masala mackerel
Masala mackerel
A star rating of 3.8 out of 5.4 ratings

The strong flavour of mackerel can handle some spice, so we’ve paired it with aromatic cumin, coriander and fennel, fiery ginger and tangy pickled onions

  • 1 tsp flaky sea salt
  • 1 tbsp white wine vinegar
  • 1 tbsp caster sugar
  • ½ tsp coriander seeds
  • a small handful of dill
    leaves picked

I liked this. It was super easy to make with ingredients I already had handy. However, I would say the salt content is too high. It was super salty, so I would definitely reduce that next time.

question

Can I use dried dill? Couldn't get any fresh

medisin

You can use any herbs you like the taste of. Recipes like this are just guidelines.

question

why spiralize?

medisin

For all the hipsters who bought spiralisers when they were “trending”. Cut it up however you like, I just scrape the seeds out & slice them.

This was super tasty! Although it is a quick recipe, it does last well in the fridge, which is good as it serves more than two but it very versatile!

question

Can this be put in a jar and kept? Thanks

medisin

I’ve had them in a jar in the fridge for about a week before. If the jar is properly clean and you keep the lid on, they don’t really go off within that time, but they do eventually develop an unpleasant texture.
