A potent combination of fresh mackerel, pungent horseradish and refreshing cucumber that\u2019s a smashing start to any meal.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
\u00bd cucumber, peeled, thinly sliced on a mandoline
\nsalt
\n4 tbsp grated fresh horseradish
\n2 heaped tablespoon cr\u00e8me fra\u00eeche
\n2 tsp English mustard powder
\n4 fresh mackerel fillets
\nsalt and freshly ground black pepper
\nknob of butter<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
4 slices soda bread, toasted, buttered
\n1 small red onion, thinly sliced
\n\u00bd small lemon<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
For the salted cucumber and horseradish, place the cucumber slices into a colander and sprinkle with plenty of salt. Mix well and leave the contents to drain over the sink for half an hour.<\/p>\n
Rinse the salt off the cucumber with cold water, then leave to drain. Gently wring out any excess moisture from the cucumber with your hands, then set aside.<\/p>\n
In a clean bowl, mix the horseradish with the cr\u00e8me fra\u00eeche and mustard powder, making sure the mustard powder is well combined with no lumps. Set aside.<\/p>\n
Season the mackerel fillets on their skin side with salt and freshly ground black pepper.<\/p>\n
Heat the butter in a frying pan until it is foaming, then add the fillets skin-side down. Place a heat-proof plate onto the cooking fillets, as this will make sure they stay flat and cook evenly. Cook for 4-5 minutes, or until nearly cooked through, then turn the fillets and cook for 30 seconds, or until just cooked through.<\/p>\n
To serve, place a small handful of the cucumber onto the toast. Place the cooked mackerel fillets onto the cucumber. Place a dollop of the horseradish sauce on top and garnish with a little of the sliced red onion and a squeeze of lemon.<\/p>\n
