1. Heat oven to 220C/fan 200C/gas 7. Make a couple of slashes in both sides of the fish and rub with half the curry paste. Heat the oil in a roasting tray, then fry the potatoes and onion for about 8 mins until starting to brown.
2. Stir the remaining curry paste into the potatoes, then sit the fish on top and roast for 20-25 mins until the fish and potatoes are cooked.
3. Lift the fish onto plates, then place the potatoes back over a high heat. Add the spinach to the pan and cook for 3-4 mins until completely wilted. Scoop out and serve with the fish.

Buying mackerel

Mackerel, a rich source of omega-3, is one of the healthiest fish you can eat. If you don't fancy eating a whole fish, buy fillets and roast the potatoes for 15 mins before adding the fillets, then roast for 10 mins more.

  We thought that this was lovely and light. I used tomato and coriander madras curry paste which worked really well!!

  This was really delicious and very very easy to make. This was my first time cooking mackerel and I was really impressed. I'll use less curry paste next time though, it was a bit too hot for me, and much to hot for my husband! The potatoes were sublime!
