Mackerel With Pistachio and Cardamom Salsa

This is a summer starter that works just as well as a main course, served with some herb-filled rice or fried potato slices. Both the cream and the cardamom salsa can be made in advance so you can have this dish on the table in as long as it takes to cook the fish, no longer than five minutes. If you choose to do this, just make sure to add the lime juice to the salsa at the very last minute to prevent the herbs from discoloring.
