    Ingredients

    • 4 Mackerel fillets
    • 1 to 2 pieces of sliced cheddar cheese
    • 2 eggs
    • 50g grated horseradish
    • 50g grated cheese
    • Oil for frying
    • 50g rocket or arugula
    • 1 tomato, diced
    • Salt and ground pepper

    Method

    • Pat dry and fillet the mackerel – make sure to remove the pin bones.

    • Slice the mackerel and put 2 pieces of cheddar cheese strips into each mackerel fillet incision.

    • In a bowl, gently whisk together the 2 eggs. Add the gratedhorseradish, grated cheese, salt and pepper to taste, then mix.

    • Heat oil in a frying pan. Dip each mackerel fillet into the egg mixture and gently lower the fillet into the oil.

    • Cook the mackerel fillet for approximately 6-7 minutes each side, in a frying pan, skin side first and then the flesh side.

    • Add the diced tomatoes and the rocket at the centre of the plate.

    • Once the mackerel fillets are cooked to your liking, placed the fillets on top of the plate and serve.

    • Serving Suggestions: Serve on the warmed platter and garnish with parsley. Sprinkle over some grated cheese and serve with oven-baked potatoes.
