Ingredients

  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 2 garlic cloves, thinly sliced
  • 1 beetroot, peeled and diced (about 150g)
  • 1 small sweet potato, peeled and diced (about 200g)
  • 40g curly kale
  • 1 x 180g pack mackerel fillets
  • 60g crème fraîche
  • 1 tbsp creamed horseradish
  • ¼ tsp Dijon mustard
  • 1 tbsp fresh dill, finely chopped

Step by step

  1. Put 1 tablespoon of the oil and the garlic in a large, lidded frying pan over a medium-high heat. As soon as the garlic is fragrant (but not coloured), add the beetroot and sweet potato. Season well and stir in 60ml water, then cover with the lid and cook for 6-8 minutes, stirring halfway. Once the beetroot and sweet potato are tender (test with a fork), add the kale and replace the lid. Turn off the heat and leave for 1-2 minutes, until the kale is wilted.
  2. Meanwhile, season the mackerel fillets. Heat the remaining oil in a frying pan. Once the pan is very hot, add the mackerel, skin-side down, gently pressing so the skin keeps contact with the pan. Cook for 3-4 minutes, until the skin is crisp and golden. Flip the fillets over, remove from the heat and leave the mackerel in the pan to finish cooking through.
  3. To make the sauce, combine the crème fraîche, horseradish, mustard and dill. Serve the hash topped with the mackerel fillets, a good dollop of horseradish crème fraîche and some black pepper.
