Ingredients

  • 200g sushi or jasmine rice
  • 1 small cucumber , thinly sliced into rounds
  • 1 tbsp rice vinegar
  • 1 tsp caster sugar
  • 1 tbsp white miso paste
  • 1 tbsp soy sauce or tamari
  • 2 tsp honey or maple syrup
  • 4 mackerel fillets , skin on, bones removed
  • 2 tsp sesame seeds
  • 2 spring onions , finely sliced
  • 8 radishes , thinly sliced

Method

  1. Cook the rice following pack instructions, then set aside and keep warm.

  2. In a bowl, toss the cucumber with the vinegar, sugar and a pinch of salt. Set aside to lightly pickle while you prepare everything else.

  3. Mix the miso, soy and honey in a small bowl. Place the mackerel fillets on a baking tray, skin-side down, brush over the glaze and sprinkle with the sesame seeds.

  4. Heat the grill to high, then grill the mackerel for 5-6 mins until cooked through and slightly caramelised – the glaze will be bubbling.

  5. To assemble the bowls, start with rice at the bottom, then top with the mackerel, pickled cucumber, sliced spring onions and radishes.
