Method

  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.

  • Recipe Tip

    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.

No not for me, the paste on both the fish and potatoes tasted muddy. Thank heavens for the spinach. I will won’t be making this again.

Simple and delicious. I cooked my potatoes for a little longer than suggested, but all else the same.

This recipe was delicious and really reasonable as we picked fresh mackerel up from Asda for £1.38 each! We used Pataks Korma paste and I squeezed loads of fresh lemon on when serving. Will definitely be cooking again.

Fabulous! We only used the curry paste on the mackerel and ignored the instruction to stir in with the potatoes which I think would have been curry paste overload! Delicious and very easy!

Very tasty and easy to do. One suggestion though: if you do the potatoes and Mackerel in separate tins then the potatoes would taste less fishy.

Fantastic & yummy scrummy! This one's definitely on the must have more often list! Caught the mackerel last night and cooked it tonight. Tried it with a Tikka Masala paste but will be swapping this out for the Madras next time. Would also recommend the BBQ'd Mackerel with Chilli, Ginger & Lime drizzle.
