    Smoked mackerel with fennel and apple open sandwich

    • Preparation time: 10 minutes
    • Cooking time: 0 minutes
    • Total time: 10

    Serves: 4

    Ingredients

    100g frozen garden peas, defrosted 

    2 tsp chopped chives

    1 tsp chopped tarragon

    ½ lemon, juice

    1½ tsp olive oil

    4 thin slices dark rye bread, buttered

    1 large smoked mackerel fillet (about 100g), skinned

    ¼ fennel bulb, tough outer leaves discarded

    ¼ granny smith apple

    Method

    1. Crush the peas with a fork, stir in the chives and tarragon, a few drops of lemon juice and 1 tsp olive oil; season. Spread the pea mixture evenly over the buttered bread and flake a generous amount of mackerel on top of each. 

    2. Slice the fennel and apple very finely (use a mandolin if possible) and mix in a bowl with a squeeze more lemon juice and the remaining ½ tsp olive oil; season. Divide between the sandwiches and garnish with dill sprigs, if liked.
