Citrus cured mackerel with avocado, chilli and basil
Fresh mackerel is cured in a bright citrus marinade of orange, lime, and crushed coriander seeds for a clean, delicate flavour. Paired with creamy avocado, aromatic basil, and a touch of fiery chilli, it makes a wonderfully refreshing dish. Serve chilled alongside crisp greens tossed with sesame oil and soy sauce.
