Mackerel, green sauce and preserved lemons
This spicy, bright-flavoured green sauce is a great foil for oily fish, which can be delicious cooked on a barbecue, too, and you could substitute the mackerel for sardines (although you will need three or four per serving).

Step 1
Heat the oven to 200°C/fan oven 180°C/mark 6. Line an oven tray with foil. Season the mackerel with salt and freshly ground black pepper inside and out, and lay on the foil. Roast for 15-20 minutes.
Step 2
Meanwhile, make the sauce. Pick the leaves from the herbs and discard the stalks. Halve the preserved lemons, then scoop out and discard the fleshy insides. Put all the sauce ingredients (except the lemon juice) in a food processor, add a splash of water and blitz until combined. Season with salt, pepper and a squeeze of lemon.
Step 3
Serve the mackerel with plenty of sauce on the side and boiled new potatoes and/or roasted carrots.
