Moroccan harissa-grilled mackerel with orange and black olive relish

Serves 4

For the relish

• 2 tbsp olive oil
• 0 mackerel
• 2 tsp rose harissa
• 1 cup couscous

And for the rest of the week …

• 0.5 red onion
• 1 ½ oranges
• 0 good quality black olives
• 1 tsp coriander seeds
• 0.5 clove garlic
• 0.5 bunch coriander
• 3 tbsp olive oil
• 0 black pepper

Step 1
Always make sure your mackerel is line-caught.

Step 2
Always make sure your mackerel is line-caught.

Step 3
Heat the oven to 200C (180C fan)/gas 6.

Step 4
Make the relish first.

Step 5
Pop the onion in a bowl and squeeze over the juice of half an orange.

Step 6
Add the zest of the whole orange, then leave to macerate.

Step 7
Using a sharp knife, remove the pith from the zested orange – it helps if you cut off each end, so it sits flat.

Step 8
Prise away the segments and chop into pea-sized pieces.

Step 9
Add to the onion bowl and squeeze in any juice from the skins and core.

Step 10
Add the remaining relish ingredients, season to taste and put to one side.

Step 11
Line an oven tray with baking paper and grease with a teaspoon or two of oil.

Step 12
Rub the flesh side of the mackerel with the harissa, then lay them skin-side up on the tray.

Step 13
Season the skin, then roast for eight to 10 minutes, until the skin is crisp and the fish is cooked through.

Step 14
While the fish is in the oven, boil the kettle.

Step 15
Pour the couscous into a bowl, add the remaining olive oil and season with a few pinches of salt.

Step 16
Fill the now-empty cup with boiling water, pour this over the couscous, stir once, then cover tightly for five minutes.

Step 17
Remove the lid and check the couscous, adding a little more boiling water, if needed.

Step 18
Once it is cooked, use a fork to fluff up the grains.

Step 19
Dish this out on to plates, pop two fillets (or one butterflied fish) on each plate and spoon over the relish.
