Seared Cucumbers and Mackerel

Seared Cucumbers and Mackerel

I salted the cucumber to release some moisture.
Meanwhile I toasted some seeds of
hemp, sesame, and coriander.
When the seeds were toasted I tossed the
sliced cucumbers in the seeds and pan seared them.

Next I seared the mackerel in the same pan.

I served up the seared cucumbers and mackerel.
The cucumbers were tough as nails, but the flavor was good.

This was an English cucumber and never had one that tough.
Sometimes you win and sometimes you loose.
