Method

Preheat the oven to 200°C.

Place 15cm rhubarb lengths in a roasting tin with 125ml water and light brown sugar.

Roast for 10 to 15 minutes until just soft, then drain and reserve the cooking juices.

Coat the skin side of the mackerel fillets in seasoned flour.

Heat oil in a frying pan and place fillets skin-side down with rosemary.

Add the roasted rhubarb and capers to the side of the pan to heat through.

Flip the mackerel after 2 minutes and cook for a further 2 minutes.

Add sherry vinegar and bring to a boil before removing the fish and rhubarb.

Deglaze the pan with reserved rhubarb juices and pour the sauce over the fish to serve.
