Serves: 4

Prepare: 10 minutes

Cook: 5 minutes

Ingredients:

  • 150g half-fat crème fraiche
  • 1 lemon, zest and a squeeze of juice
  • 2 tbsp grated horseradish
  • 3 smoked mackerel fillets (about 200g)
  • 4 slices rye or sourdough bread
  • 1-2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil, for brushing
  • 150g (about3) cooked beetroot, thinly sliced
  • small handful dill sprigs

1 . Mix together the crème fraiche, lemon zest and horseradish in a bowl with a squeeze of lemon juice. Flake the smoked mackerel fillets (discard the skin) and stir into the mixture, being careful not to break them up too much; season.

2 . Preheat the grill to high. Brush the bread with olive oil and toast under the grill for about 1 minute on each side. Arrange the beetroot on the toasts and top with the mackerel and dill.
