Healthy Smoked Mackerel Salad Rich In Omega-3 Fatty Acids
If you're doctor's telling you to eat oily fish then this smoked mackerel salad is for you in fact whatever your doctor has to say, oily fish is really healthy and tasty.
Mackerel is one of these oily fish rich in omega-3 fatty acids that are really good for your heart and for preventing cardiovascular disease. Fatty fish like mackerel, herring, sardines, lake trout and salmon are high in two varieties of omega-3 fatty acid, eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA). Whether you're on health kick or not – it still tastes great.
I've used a peppered smoked mackerel for this recipe and and dark leaved salad because this complements the fish beautifully so if you want to vary the ingredients feel free. Watercress would be a good idea
Ingredients:-
Smoked mackerel filets (1 per person)
Salad leaves
Baby spinach
Boiled new potatoes (sliced)
Cherry tomatoes
Balsamic vinegar dressing
Method:-
Tear the smoked mackerel filets into strips, layer your salad and simply throw the fish on top – it's that simple.
For the balsamic vinaigrette go 4:1 oil to balsamic vinegar, stir in the tip of a teaspoon of Dijon mustard and stir. Pour it over the salad, tuck in and enjoy!
