Ingredients

  • 200-250 g smoked mackerel fillets skinned
  • 3 tablespoon mayonnaise
  • juice of quarter or half a lemon depending on your taste
  • 3 spring onions (scallions) (green parts only + more as garnish) washed and thinly sliced
  • 1 tablespoon horseradish cream (sauce) or more depending on your preference
  • salt & pepper to taste

Instructions

  • Take the skin off the mackerel and tear the fish into small pieces then pop them in a bowl. Make sure you pay attention to tiny little bones which you want to discard. If you like your pate really smooth, simply whiz it in a food processor instead.
  • Using a fork mix flaked or pureed fish with mayonnaise and horseradish. 
  • Add juice of a lemon and mix thoroughly. Start with quarter of a lemon first, taste and add more if needed.  
  • Wash and slice finely your spring onions and mix with the fish.
  • Season to taste with salt and pepper.
  • Serve and enjoy!

  • Nutritional information is approximate and should be treated as a guideline only.
