Smoked Mackerel, Fennel and Orange Salad

 

Smoked Mackerel, Fennel and Orange Salad

smoked mackerel salad
Print Recipe
Prep Time
15 mins
 
This is a colourful salad with big flavours - the citrus cuts through the oiliness of the fish very well. Make sure to slice the fennel as thinly as possible, using a mandolin if you have one, or the aniseed flavour could overpower the other ingredients.
Servings: 4

Ingredients

  • 1 small fennel bulb (about 200g), trimmed
  • 1 chicory bulb (about 125g)
  • 2 large oranges
  • 4 cooked beetroot (about 250g), drained if in vinegar, cut into wedges
  • 3 smoked mackerel fillets (about 175g), skinned
  • 50g bunch or bag watercress (or lamb’s lettuce), trimmed

For the Honey Citrus Dressing

  • 2tsp harissa paste
  • 1tbsp clear honey
  • 2tbsp orange juice
  • flaked sea salt
  • freshly ground black pepper

Method

  1. Prepare the vegetables and fruit. Cut the fennel bulb into wafer-thin slices lengthways. Trim the chicory bulb and separate the leaves.

  2. Slice the ends off the oranges and place them on a chopping board, cut side down. Using a small sharp knife, cut off the peel and pith, working your way around the orange. Next, slice the oranges and put the slices in a salad bowl but do not add any juice from your board. This can be added to the dressing.

  3. To make the dressing, whisk all the ingredients together in a small bowl.

  4. Arrange all the fennel, chicory, orange, beetroot and leaves on a platter. Tear the mackerel into large flakes and scatter on top. Drizzle with the dressing just before serving. Calories per serving: 258.

Feeling like a break from all that festive food? T Feeling like a break from all that festive food? This roasted veg salad may be just what you need. I’ve topped it with yoghurt that I’ve strained overnight in the fridge until it’s really thick - it’s lighter than cheese and is the perfect addition to a warm salad. I’ve sprinkled the salad with a few mixed seeds, added some leaves and a drizzle of balsamic vinegar and extra virgin olive oil. An easy way to kick off a healthy 2021! 🥗
