Pulse cucumber, 40g salt, and 50g sugar in a food processor until slushy.

Coat mackerel fillets in the curing mixture and rest for two hours.

Blend egg yolks, mustard, and vinegar until smooth.

Emulsify by adding herb oil slowly until thick, then season and chill.

Combine celery, walnuts, apples, and gooseberries in a bowl.

Soften onion slices in warm olive oil off the heat for 20 minutes.

Rinse, dry, and cut each cured mackerel fillet into three pieces.

Fry mackerel for 30 seconds per side until lightly browned.

Serve the dressed salad over rocket leaves topped with mackerel and softened onions.
