Mackerel is a delicious way to top up your omega 3 fatty acids. Rhubarb cuts through the oil brilliantly, creating a fresh, zesty snack or meal. A different twist on fish and chips!

Ingredients

Printable 🖨 shopping 🛒 list & 👩‍🍳 method for this recipe

2 stems of rhubarb, trimmed and washed
4 tablespoons brown sugar or jaggery
1 tablespoon butter
2 mackerel fillets
2 cm fresh ginger root, peeled and grated to mush

Method

Chop the rhubarb into 5 cm (1/2") lengths
Place in a small frying pan with the sugar and half-cover the rhubarb with water
Simmer for about 15 minutes, until the fruit is tender
The water will probably be completely absorbed, if not raise the heat and reduce for a few minutes more. Reserve the cooked fruit
In the same pan, melt the butter and fry the mackerel, skin-side-down for 4 minutes until crispy
Spread the mashed ginger on the uncooked flesh, flip and fry for another 3 to 4 minutes
Rest for 5 minutes and serve topped with the rhubarb

Chef's notes

Don't be tempted to add salt as processed mackerel can be quite salty already.

Peeling ginger

There is no need to peel ginger. As a result of attending a Thai cookery demo, we have learnt that peeling ginger is unnecessary unless for aesthetic purposes as the skin is high in fibre and full of flavour. However, do remove any bits that have become tough or woody.
