Smoked mackerel and a geranium
Impulse purchase of smoked garlic and whole mackerel.
Gut the mackerel, one swift cut with a knife from belly to head is all it takes, defin and de-gill, i will admit that de-gilling is not my forte.
Slash the skin and season with salt and pepper. Stuff the cavity with smoked garlic cloves and lemon quarters.Roast in a hot oven for 15 minutes or so.
This would be lovely served with a crisp green salad, but we added more lemon juice and greedily ate them straight off the baking tray with bread.
We had a Berocca to make it a balanced meal.
I found this geranium on the windowsill, seemingly they thrive on neglect. Or maybe it isn't thriving, perhaps had it have been watered it would be 5ft tall by now?

Are you lucky enough to have a fishmonger in your town? The hot, lemony mackerel sounds delish ( and berocca on the side is very January!!).
