  Really tasty and quick. As the mackerel is quite a robust fish it was able to stand up to the spices.

  This was a delicious, healthy, summery dinner! I replaced cumin seeds with something else because I didn't have any and I used dried rather than fresh parsley, but still lovely!

  Delicious. Always looking out for new mackerel recipes as we have an abundance of the fish over the summer months. Will definitely be using this recipe again. Made it with the potato salad which I found stopped the dish being too dry as previously commented.
