A healthy lifestyle also means getting healthy fats. Mackerel is an excellent example of this. A tasty smoked fatty fish, super soft meat and fairly easily available. For lunch I made this recipe fine mackerel salad with stir-fry cauliflower. This way, in addition to healthy fats, we also get some fiber and vitamins. Of course you can just add the tomatoes or cut them through the middle. I always like making those little roses out of it. Super easy and it immediately looks very festive on your plate.
Mackerel is a juicy, oily fish rich in omega-3 and vitamin B12, beneficial for the heart and brain. This silvery-bluish fish, ranging from 30 to 50 cm, feeds on plankton. Available as fillets, this fish is versatile and delicious smoked in salads or as a main dish.
Mackerel salad with stir-fry cauliflower
A delicious smoked mackerel fresh at the fishmonger! Delicious isn't it, and this fish is full of vitamin B 12, better for you than taking those vitamin pills! These fish swim close to the surface of the water and feed on plankton. By the way, it is a voracious animal, so it also eats shrimp and crayfish. It swims around with its mouth open, sifting the food out of the water. The skin of the fish has a golden yellow glow at the fishmonger. He doesn't have that in the water.
There it is silver-bluish. It doesn't get very big, about 30 to 50 cm. I myself am terrified of bones, so I always buy fillets! I once saw someone choking on a bone, luckily this person survived! A little cheaper is often if you just buy the whole fish and clean it yourself at home. But you won't see me doing that haha.
