Directions
1.

Cut the mackerel into generous chunks, then place in a bowl. Take the spices and add them to the bowl. Gently mix it all together with your hands and set aside.

2.

For the slaw, simply add all the ingredients to a bowl and mix together. Similarly, with the sriracha cream, just mix the sriracha with the sour cream.

3.

Pour olive oil in a pan and fry the mackerel for 4-5 minutes. Whilst frying, begin toasting your tortillas. You can do this straight on the hob, using tongs to turn every few seconds.

4.

To assemble, place a generous amount of slaw on first. Add 2-3 chunks of mackerel, sprinkle with coriander, crumbled feta. Add the sriracha creme and thinly sliced radishes, serve with wedges of lime and enjoy.
