Ingredients

  • 300g sushi rice

  • 200g frozen soya beans

  • 150ml teriyaki sauce

  • 1 large garlic clove, crushed

  • zest and juice 1 lemon

  • 4 smoked mackerel fillets, skin removed

  • 4 spring onions, halved and shredded lengthways

  • wasabi paste, to serve (optional)

Method

  1. Cook the rice following pack instructions, adding the soya beans to the pan for the final 3 mins.

  2. Meanwhile, mix together the teriyaki sauce, garlic, lemon zest and juice. Heat a non-stick frying pan over a medium-high heat. Brush a little of the teriyaki sauce mixture over the mackerel and sear the fillets, skin-side down, for 1-2 mins. Turn the fish over and add the teriyaki sauce mixture to the pan, bring to a bubble and cook the sauce for 1-2 mins more. The fish will warm through and the sauce will thicken.

  3. Spoon the rice into bowls, then top each bowl with a mackerel fillet. Spoon over the sauce and sprinkle over the spring onions. Serve with a blob of wasabi paste, if you like.
