Smoked Mackerel & Egg Salad
Per serving
Ingredients
- 2 large eggs
- 2 generous handfuls mixed salad leaves
- 2 TB olive oil
- generous squeeze fresh lemon juice
- 2 tsp snipped chives
- 2 smoked mackerel fillets, approx. 80g / 2.8oz each
- finely grated lemon zest
- sea salt flakes
- freshly ground black pepper
- 1/4 red onion, peeled and very thinly sliced
Instructions
- Bring a small pot of water to a simmer over moderately high heat. For soft-boiled eggs, simmer for 6-7 minutes then remove. Once cool enough to handle, peel and slice in half.
- Simply drizzle the salad leaves with olive oil and freshly squeezed lemon juice from half a lemon (catch the pips!). Toss well to coat. Divide between two bowls and scatter over the snipped chives.
- Break up the smoked mackerel into smaller pieces over the salad (I always remove the skins before doing so and enjoy them on their own another time). Use a microplane or zester to finely grate over lemon zest. Top with the thin red onion slices. Add the egg and season with a little sea salt flakes and freshly ground black pepper.
