Smoked Mackerel, Beets, Apples, and Bread Crisps

Smoked mackerel, a Scandinavian standby, packs plenty of heart-healthy omega-3 fatty acids. Combined with beets, apples, and bread crisps it makes a healthy snack.

Ingredients

Original recipe (1X) yields 4 servings

  • 2 slices pumpernickel bread, torn into bite- sized pieces

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil

  • 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper, plus more for garnish

  • 1/4 cup Greek-style yogurt

  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice

  • 1 tablespoon cider vinegar

  • 2 (4.2-ounce) cans oil-packed smoked mackerel, drained and flaked

  • 1 (8-ounce) package cooked beets (such as Melissa's), drained and chopped

  • 1 apple, cored and diced

  • fresh dill, for garnish

  • lemon zest and lemon wedges, for serving

Directions

  1. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).

  2. Toss bread with oil and 1/4 teaspoon pepper on a 10x15-inch rimmed baking sheet. Spread into an even layer. Bake, stirring halfway through, until crisp, about 12 minutes. Let cool for 5 minutes.

  3. Meanwhile, for sauce, whisk together yogurt, lemon juice, vinegar, and remaining 1/4 teaspoon pepper in a small bowl. Serve bread, smoked mackerel, beets, and apple with sauce. Garnish with dill and additional black pepper. Serve with lemon zest and wedges.

    Boost Vitamin A

    If earthy beets aren’t your thing, replace them with vitamin A-packed carrots: Toss 8 oz. carrots, cut into 1-inch pieces, with 1 tablespoon olive oil and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper on a separate 10x15-inch rimmed baking sheet. Roast alongside bread in Step 1, adding an additional 15 minutes.

    Reduce Sodium

    Swap out the canned smoked mackerel for 2 (4-oz.) fresh skinless salmon fillets. Heat 1 tablespoon vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Cook salmon, turning halfway through, until it flakes easily with a fork, 4 to 6 minutes per 1/2-inch thickness. Flake into bite-size pieces.

    Fill up on Fiber

    Use pumpernickel, rye, or another whole-grain bread with at least 2 grams of fiber per serving.

Tsao Mi Fun (Taiwanese Fried Rice Noodles)

My mom's been making me tsao mi fun, in Mandarin, or tsa bi whun, in Taiwanese, since I was a little girl. Tsa bi whun literally translates to 'fried rice noodles'. You'll most likely find all the ingredients at your local supermarket except for the five spice powder, dried Chinese black mushrooms and rice vermicelli which can be found at your local Asian food mart. All the measurements here are pretty much to taste, some people like more pork, some less, some more soy sauce, some less, etc.
