Ingredients

Servings
  • 2 (4 ounce) cans mackerel drained, see note
  • 1/4 cup mayonnaise
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
  • 1/2 tablespoon lemon juice and zest of 1/2 lemon
  • 1 tick celery chopped
  • 1 tablespoon capers drained & chopped
  • 1-2 tablespoons red onion chopped, or scallions
  • 1 tablespoon parsley chopped
  • 2 tablespoons cucumber chopped (optional, see note)
  • salt to taste
  • black pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Prep the ingredients and add them to a bowl. Gently mash/stir together. Give it a taste and adjust ingredients as needed (e.g. add more lemon juice or salt & pepper).
  2. Serve in a sandwich, wrap, lettuce wraps, etc.

Notes

  • Makes about 2 sandwiches (up to 4 if you don't fill them much). To halve the recipe, use 1 can of mackerel and halve each ingredient (it's fine to eyeball this recipe... it's very flexible).
  • Mackerel taste/quality can vary a lot from brand-to-brand. The best one I've tried is King Oscar. 
  • Skip the cucumber if you don't plan on eating it right away (it'll make it more watery if it sits).
