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.

You can of course make this salad using pre-packed smoked mackerel from the supermarket but the best mackerel is definately that which you smoke yourself. Use this link to check out my recipe for hot smoked mackerel, it's really not that difficult to make and it sure makes for a infinitely superior result.

I've used a peppered smoked mackerel for this recipe (just take my basic hot smoked mackerel recipe and add some peppercorns after the smoking process) and dark leaved salad because this compliments the fish beautifully so if you want to vary the ingredients feel free. Peppery watercress would be a good alternative.

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, it's will add a lovely sheen, tuck in and enjoy!
