- 8 Baby white onions peeled
- 0.5 Small bunch of coriander

Step-by-step
- Pre heat oven to about 180°C
- In a non-stick pan place the cumin seeds and toast in the dry pan. Then add the shallot, pomegranate juice and radishes and cook for about 2-3 minutes.
- Turn up the heat and add the honey and butter and cook for a further 5-6 minutes. The colour of the radishes will gradually start to run and form a glaze. When nearly all the liquor has evaporated, remove from the pan from the heat, stir in the chopped herbs and season.
- For the mackerel: Using a sharp knife fillet the fish and using some tweezers remove the pin bones. Heat a pan on the stove and season the fish and pan fry skin side down in a little butter and olive oil and cook on the skin side for 2 minutes before turning over and remove from the heat.
