Description

This Skinny Smoked Mackerel Pâté recipe makes a really quick, ready in 5 minutes lunchtime pâté made entirely from store cupboard ingredients – tinned mackerel, Greek yogurt and a squeeze of fresh lemon juice!


Ingredients

Scale
  • 100g smoked mackerel fillets
  • 3 tbsp Total 0% greek yogurt
  • 1 tsp  chopped fresh dill
  • 1 tsp non pareilles capers
  • fresh lemon juice, to taste
  • freshly ground black pepper
  • sea salt

Instructions

  1. Drain the mackerel fillets and flake until fine with a fork in a small bowl.
  2. Add the yogurt, dill and the capers, finely chopped (I do the dill and the capers at the same time with a herb chopper) and mix well.
  3. Add salt, lemon juice and plenty of freshly cracked black pepper to taste. 

Notes

I find this does me for two good lunches, but it really depends on how much you like to eat in one sitting. I warn you, though, that it only keeps a few days in the fridge.
