Whole Mackerel À La Plancha With Samphire And Cherry Tomato Salad
If you find raw samphire too salty, bring a pot of hot water to the boil and add the samphire. Bring the water back to the boil again, then remove the samphire. Cool it down with cold running water and this will take some of the saltiness away.
