Recipe: Cucumber, Mango and Mackerel Salad

I've got a couple of posts to do, one on the chemo and two great days out with the kids, but to be honest phase 2 of the treatment has left me a bit under the weather and I haven't had the inclination,  a bit like eating / cooking, haven't really got the inclination to do that either.

Ishbel was going to make a sweet and sour last night but I couldn't face it so I had some mackerel fillets and as I am making a lot of smoothies at the moment I have lots of fruit and veg and then I remembered I saw this being made somewhere, I think it was on a Rick Stein show, and as it only takes about 5 mins to prepare

What you'll need:

A couple of Mackerel fillets, cooked  -
You can quickly heat these under the grill or in a pan they only take a few moments either way - set aside

Half a cucumber shredded into long strips - use a potato peeler
Some strips of fresh mango - the mango should be ripe and ready to eat - put in the fridge for about an hour though to re-firm it and use the potato peeler as per the cucumber
juice of 1/2 lemon
2-3 tablespoons of soy sauce
Salt and peeper to taste
Handful of rocket leaves
Crusty bread for big croutons





Shred the Cucumber














Shred /slice the mango
 and add to the cucumber

add some Rocket salad leaves 


Prepare some crusty bread slices then 
quarter the slices 


 Heat a large pan, add some olive oil or good quality veg oil and add the bread















fry off on all sides to golden and crispy















Add the bread to the bowl with the cucumber, mango and rocket and mix in 

Chop and add the mackerel and gently mix in to the salad without breaking up the pieces 























Add the soy sauce and squeeze the juice of the half lemon over the bowl again gently mixing up.

Add salt and pepper to taste 











Serve up and enjoy
