Equipment

  • Bowl
  • Grill

Ingredients

  • 4 tbsp butter softened
  • 4 tbsp horseradish to taste
  • 4 large mackerel fillets
  • 1 soft round lettuce leaves separated
  • 4 large gherkins sliced
  • Salt
  • Black pepper
  • 4 brioche buns split open, to serve

Method

  • Beat the butter and horseradish together in a bowl, adding pepper to taste, then put the mixture to one side.
  • Season the mackerel fillets on both sides and grill them over a high heat, skin-side down, for two minutes. Carefully flip the fillets over with a spatula and cook for another one minute, until just cooked through. (Cook in a pan with a splash of cooking oil, if you prefer.)
  • Lightly toast the inside of the rolls on the grill, then generously spread each with the horseradish butter. Add lettuce and gherkins to each bun, then finally the cooked mackerel, sandwiching shut to serve.
