  I really enjoy spicy fish recipes and am always looking for a good mackeral dish so this seemed a good bet. Plus we needed to get some Harissa for another recipe. It was quick and spicy. I served it with some couscous.

  This is a fantastic fish recipe. I have served this with both trout and salmon (both delicious). Even the children (5 and 9) enjoy it.

  I really enjoyed this and served it with warm potatoe, rocket and red onion salad (see another mackrel receipe on this site for that). I fried the pine nuts in a pan before adding them which really brings out the taste and provides a nice crunch otherwise they just go soggy.

  Really delicious and super easy, made a harrissa free version for my young children who really enjoyed it, even the skin. Not sure if the recipe is clear but 5mins is *overall* cooking time not each side.

  Really good. I used Herring and it worked well. The fish looked amazing and tasted really special. Quick and easy . Can't wait to use this recipe again.

  Bloody lovely! Couldn't find mackerel in local supermarket ( its only a small one) so used haddock instead. The wife said too many pine nuts, and could have had a bit more sauce. Served it with cous cous mixed with some veg. Certainly do again.

  Absolutely divine, and cheap too! We're having it again tonight, just waiting for my son to get in from work. I used whole mackerel which were only a quid each, and filleted them myself - very therapeutic! The only thing I couldn't get my hands on was the pine nuts. Even though our local supermarket is a massive Asda, they didn't have any so I used Italian tomato flavour mini crouton things that you buy in a drum to shake over salads - very nice. I served on egg noodles topped with watercress, then the fish on top. Does anyone know if Marks & Sparks or Sainsburys or whoever stocks the pine nuts? I'd like to give them a try.

  Harissa is from North Africa; not Asia.

  I tried a slightly different version of this recipe from your November 2012 magazine. The smoked paprika was 2 rather than 1/2 tsp and the Harissa was replaced with. 1 tbsp of clear honey. It worked well with the honey compensating the strength of the paprika. Unfortunately this recipe is not on your site.
