Conjure up the taste of Malaysia with this delicious grilled mackerel recipe from Satay House

Serves 4-6

Ingredients

  • 1 large whole mackerel
  • 1tsp chilli powder
  • 1 tsp turmeric powder
  • ½ tsp salt
  • Banana leaf and cocktail stick (optional)

For the dipping sauce:

  • ½ cup tamarind juice
  • 1 tbsp tomato ketchup
  • ½ lemon, juiced
  • ½ tbsp fish sauce
  • ¼ small onion, diced
  • 1 red chilli, diced and seeds removed
  • 1 green chilli, diced and seeds removed
  • 1 tbsp sugar
  • Pinch of salt

Method: How to make ikan panggang

1. Prepare the mackerel by scoring deep diagonal cuts along the length of the fish. Around 6-8 cuts on both sides should be sufficient. This will make sure the flavour of the mixture seeps into the fish.

2. Mix the chilli and turmeric powder and salt in a bowl then rub the mixture on both sides of the fish, ensuring it covers the diagonal cuts.

3. Sprinkle water over the fish and rub into the mixture to create a smooth paste from the powder.

4. (Optional) wrap the fish with the banana leaf and secure with a cocktail stick.

5. Grill for approximately 15 minutes, half the time for each side, or until cooked.

6. For the dipping sauce: place ingredients for the dipping sauce into a bowl and mix together. Your may want to dilute the tamarind juice with a little water to make it less tangy.
