Serves 4

Ingredients

  • Pinch of cayenne pepper
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1 teaspoon ground coriander
  • 1 teaspoon finely ground black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon English mustard powder
  • 1 teaspoon caster sugar
  • Salt
  • 40ml olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
  • 640g mackerel fillets

For the Salad

  • 2 beefsteak tomatoes, chopped
  • 1 small red onion, peeled and thinly sliced
  • Handful of fresh mint leaves
  • Juice of 1 lemon

Method

  • Preheat the grill to hot. Mix the spices, mustard powder, sugar and a little salt with the olive oil and red wine vinegar.
  • Carefully remove any remaining bones from the mackerel fillets and with a sharp knife, make three shallow incisions across the skin running down each fillet. Brush the fillets on both sides with the devil marinade and place on a baking tray.
  • Place under a hot grill for about 5 minutes until nicely browned.
  • To make the salad, combine the tomatoes, onion and mint leaves in a bowl and squeeze over the lemon juice. To serve, pile the salad on to a plate and place the mackerel on top.

    Grilled chilli squid

    This is a very simple dish once you’ve mastered the art of preparing squid, but the answer to that is to get your fishmonger to do it for you, writes Antony Worrall Thompson. Please don’t buy frozen squid as they tend to be pumped up with water and won’t grill well; fresh is definitely best. Serve with steamed new potatoes and salad.
