Background
This smoked mackerel with curried rice should be called cheatβs kedgeree, as the recipe is based on the famous dish - except itβs made with leftover or pre-cooked rice and has no eggs (but of course you can add some).

- 2 smoked mackerel fillet
- 2 Tbsp chopped parsley or coriander leaves
