MACKEREL MADE EASY
Are you eating the recommended 2–3 serves of oily fish a week? Think sardines, mackerel, anchovies, salmon or herring – really important for omega-3s that support brain health, mood and even keep skin and hair hydrated.
Lots of people don’t like the taste. If so a high-quality fish oil like might be useful. If you’re vegan/vegetarian opt for an algal oil version - do one called Algal EPA DHA.
If you do like eating fish, you’ll get all the added benefits of protein and B12. Plus, it’s satiating. If you want a super easy entry level recipe, this is for you.
Flake your mackerel fillets into a bowl. Add 1 tbsp Greek yoghurt, a little horseradish or mustard, lemon juice, chopped chives and capers. Mix and pile onto toasted sourdough or a spinach wrap. Top with watercress and some thinly sliced red onion.
To make your own spinach wrap blend two eggs plus two big handfuls of spinach. Grease a pan, pour in mixture and cook on low-medium heat for about 10 minutes, flipping once.
Stupidly easy!
