Creamy mackerel pasta salad

One of the simplest recipes to prepare yet it has become a staple for us - it's almost comfort food. It's healthy too. Another way to get your omega-3 fatty acids and vitamin B12. With the orange you may even get some vitamin c.

Printable 🖨 shopping 🛒 list & 👩‍🍳 method for this recipe

• 4 peppered mackerel fillets
• 200 g dried pasta of choice
• 1 roasted red pepper
• 1 Large orange
• 6 spring onions
• 12 cherry tomatoes
• 3 tablespoons of mayonnaise
• Splash of olive oil
• sea salt and freshly ground black pepper

Method

1. Roast the red pepper as shown here , leave in a Lock and Lock style box for 10 minutes then rub some off the blackened skin, de-seed it and chop into small squares.
2. Cook the pasta in fast boiling water as instructed on the packet. About 7 minutes should do. (we have pasta cooking times for most pasta types)
3. Drain the pasta once cooked, add a tiny splash of olive oil and mix to stop it sticking together and leave in the sieve to cool for 5 minutes.
4. Using a sharp knife over the serving bowl so you can save the juice, carefully cut the skin away from the orange then cut into small bite-sized pieces
5. Remove the skin from the mackerel, check for any pin-bones, add them to the serving bowl. Add the mayonnaise and another splash of olive oil, salt and pepper and mash together with a fork.
6. Chop the spring onions into rings and wash the tomatoes - slice large ones.
7. Add the pasta and mix everything together really well.
