BBQ mackerel fillets with fiery salad recipe

How to make BBQ mackerel with fiery salad 1. Make the garam masala. Heat a heavy-based frying pan. When hot, add the whole spices and shake for a few seconds until aromatic. Grind to a powder and mix in the mace and ginger.

Make the salad. Layer the tomatoes and onion in a dish, sprinkling each layer with a little garlic, chilli, cumin, lime juice, salt, cayenne pepper and herbs.

Preheat the grill to high. Make 4-5 shallow, diagonal slashes in each mackerel fillet. Melt the butter in a pan, add the masala, and brush it over the fish. Season lightly with salt and cayenne pepper and place skin-side up on a lightly-oiled baking tray. Grill on one side for 3 minutes until just cooked. Serve with the salad and pilau rice, garnished with coriander.

To barbecue Preheat your barbecue in the usual way until it reaches the correct temperature. Cook turning once, bearing in mind you may have to adjust the cooking time slightly depending on how hot your barbecue is or how near the heat source the food is placed.
