Smoked mackerel pilaf

Nigel uses haddock but helpfully suggests that smoked mackerel would be good too.  I would never normally choose to eat a dish like this, preferring a wet sauce with rice, and, whilst this hasn't changed my mind on the subject, I did enjoy it - it tasted like clean and healthy eating to me, which is just what I needed after 3 days of eating out during a weekend away.  I've noticed in this book that Nigel appears to be liberally peppering his dishes with dried fruits, cranberries and sultanas is this case - it works!
