This sandwich can be thrown together quickly if you have a little left over smoked mackerel (and don’t we all sometimes). Be careful not to overpower the subtle taste of mackerel.

Assembly
After removing all bones, mix the smoked mackerel with the mayonnaise, horseradish sauce, curry sauce and onions. Add paprika and garam masala if so desired, and stir. Toast two slices of bread. Arrange the mackerel salad on the toast, add 2-3 slices cherry tomatoes and sprinkle with basil.
