¼ tsp mustard powder
500g fresh mackerel fillets
8 small slices rye bread
2 tbsp finely chopped shallot

Tartare sauce
4 tbsp mayonnaise

Method

1. Preheat the grill. Make the tartare sauce by mixing all the ingredients. Season to taste.
2. Put the flour on a plate and season well with salt, pepper and mustard. You may need to remove some pin-bones from the fish using a pair of tweezers. Halve each fillet lengthwise. Coat the mackerel in the seasoned flour. Grill the fish for 4-5 minutes on each side.
3. Toast the bread lightly, if you like. Spread the bread with 1-2 tbsp tartare sauce then top with the fish and garnish with sliced red onions, pickled red cabbage or gherkins. Garnish with chives. Serve warm.
