Smoked Mackerel and Avocado Sandwich

Smoked Mackerel is one of those things that I regularly put on my shopping list even if I have nothing specific to make with it in mind. I just like having some in the fridge as it's not only healthy, but also delicious and a great additin to a salad, or what my friend H. calls a deli dinner (the kind of dinner where you just have little bits of loads of different stuff, kind of buffet style) and it is also quilckly turned into a pate.

I guess though, that one of my favourite ways to have it is as a filling for a sandwich. When I know that I have a mackerel sandwich in my lunchbox, I spend all morning looking forward to my lunch break. The other night I made a Smoked Mackerel and Avocado Sandwich to go with the Pea, Mint and Lettuce Soup and together they made a delicious and filling dinner.



This is not so much a recipe, more an idea, but here you go:

Smoked Mackerel and Avocado Sandwhich (serves 1)

2 slices of good quality bread or your favourite bread roll
butter
1-2 smoked mackerel fillets (depending on size), skin removed and flaked
1/2 avocado, sliced
2 cherry or baby plum tomatoes, sliced
a handfull of watercress or rocket (arugula) salad leaves
freshly ground black pepper (optional)
Butter your bread or roll.

Top with flaked mackerel, acocado slices, sliced tomatoes and salad leaves.

Season with freshly ground balck pepper if desired.

Enjoy!
