Fresh mackerel fillets

[puddicat]

My friend has given me some of these, would love them for my tea, will probably grill them, but what to serve along side them, some people say that should have a fruit based sauce to go along side as they can be very rich any ideas?

Grill with a nutty topping - crush brazil nuts into some chopped breadcrumbs, lemon zest, chives and mustrd or horseradish. Press the coating down to the flesh of the fish and bake in a hot oven - 10 mins should do it.

Serve with a lemon butter. mash and veg.

Or for a suace alone to go with plain grilled, try a cider sauce with apples.

Rhubarb sauce (traditional one this) - colour some onions, add chopped rhubarb, season and cook 5 mins. Pass through a fine seive and serve.

Do the same with gooseberries too...

Try a red pepper marmalade.onion chutney or a balsamic relish - the point is the acidic sauce will balance the oil of the fish.

Have fun!
