Method

  1. Boil the egg for 9 minutes, then cool it in cold1 water and peel it.

  2. Remove the skin and bones from the smoked mackerel. Flake the flesh into large chunks.

  3. Mix the Greek8 yogurt, horseradish, lemon10 juice and chopped dill11.

  4. Slice the apple2 into thin wedges, the cucumber3 into half-moons, the red4 onion into thin half-rings, and the egg into quarters.

  5. Arrange the greens8 on a plate, then top with apple2, cucumber3, onion, mackerel, and egg. Drizzle with dressing, season with black pepper, and serve with rye7 bread.

Tips

Why it works
The horseradish in the sauce stands in for mayonnaise: it adds sharpness, and the yogurt softens the oily fish.
Substitutions
Use smoked pink salmon or trout, 80 g, instead of mackerel. Mustard, 3 g, can replace the horseradish.
Common mistakes
Small bones stay in smoked mackerel. Flake the fish with your fingers and check the flesh before it goes in the bowl.
Storing and reheating
Keeps up to 1 day in the fridge, with the sauce apart. Eat it cold.
Serve with
Serve with a slice of rye bread and a thin lemon wheel.
