Method

  1. Simmer the jersey royals (or other new potatoes) in a pan of cold water for 20-25 minutes or until tender. Drain and set aside.
  2. In a bowl, toss the sliced apple, radishes and kohlrabi in the lemon juice to prevent them from discolouring.
  3. Heat the grill or a ridged griddle pan to medium-high. Brush the mackerel all over with the avocado oil, then grill for 3-4 minutes, skin-side up, under the grill (or skin side down in a griddle pan) until the fish is cooked through and the skin is crisp.

  5. When cool enough to handle, slice any larger potatoes, then combine them all with the apple, radishes and kohlrabi, along with the mayonnaise, chopped herbs, walnuts and cider vinegar. Season with black pepper, then serve with the mackerel, scattered with more dill.

Very tasty recipe even without the avocado mayo or oil. Used sesame oil for grilling the fish. Everyone liked it!
