Ingredients

300g blue mackerel
2 tbsp Thai red curry paste
1 tsp caster sugar
2 tbsp coconut milk
2 Lebanese cucumbers, peeled
12 cherry tomatoes, chopped
2 tbsp mint leaves
Dash of fish sauce
Dash of lime juice
Lime cheeks, to serve

Steps

Preheat the grill to high and lightly oil a large baking tray.
Rinse the blue mackerel under cold water and pat dry with paper towels. In a bowl, mix together the Thai red curry paste, caster sugar, coconut milk, and season with salt and pepper.
Place the mackerel on the prepared baking tray and spread the curry mixture evenly over the fish. Place the tray under the hot grill for 5 minutes, then carefully turn the fish. Grill for an additional 6-10 minutes, or until the skin becomes crackled and scorched, and the flesh is cooked through.
Meanwhile, using a vegetable peeler, slice the cucumber into long strips and then cut those strips into matchsticks. Toss the cucumber, cherry tomatoes, and mint leaves together with fish sauce, lime juice, and season with salt and pepper. Serve the grilled mackerel alongside the cucumber salad and lime cheeks.
