Ingredients
- 1 can (120–140 g) smoked mackerel in oil, drained and flaked
- 300 g baby potatoes (small, waxy)
- 75 g Greek yogurt (approx. 2–3 tbsp)
- 1 tsp Dijon mustard
- 1 tbsp capers, rinsed
- 2 spring onions (scallions), thinly sliced
- Handful (30 g) arugula (rocket) or baby spinach
- ½ lemon (juice and a little zest)
Steps
- Start the potatoes: place potatoes in a pot, cover with cold water, add a pinch of salt and bring to a boil. Cook 10–12 minutes until tender when pierced (small potatoes cook quickly).
- While potatoes cook, make the lemon-Dijon yogurt: in a small bowl mix Greek yogurt, Dijon mustard, juice and a little zest from the lemon, a drizzle of olive oil, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Taste and adjust — it should be tangy and creamy.
- Drain potatoes and halve or slice them thickly. Toss warm potato pieces with a drizzle of olive oil and a pinch of salt so they hold a light gloss.
- Assemble stacks: on a plate lay a bed of arugula, arrange potato slices in a small stack or fan, spoon or brush some lemon-Dijon yogurt onto each potato piece, top with flaked mackerel, scatter capers and sliced spring onion over the top.
- Finish: squeeze a little more lemon over everything, add cracked black pepper and an extra drizzle of olive oil if desired. Serve immediately while potatoes are warm for best contrast of textures.
