I love mackerel especially simply cooked on a griddle pan our BBQ. This is a delicious combo with the courgette casserole and full of good fats, vitamins and flavour.

Pour over the tomato passata and cover with the rest of the courgette and season again

After the casserole has been in the oven for 25 minutes, season the mackerel fillets, brush with a little oil and cook on a griddle pan or barbeq until done. Serve with the courgette casserole and some couscous if you want a little more substance.

I’m on a quest to find some gooseberries so I can combine with mackerel and crispy bacon. It’s heavenly. This looks delicious too.
Oh My, that does sound good. When I was growing up they were in our garden but we were very bold and used to say we were getting horrible dessert when mum made crumble with them (the shame!)
