About this dish

Smoked mackerel already carries smoke and oil, and it takes only blanched chwinamul greens, cooked lentils and a Dijon, cider vinegar and honey dressing to turn it into a full salad.

    Squeeze out moisture and cut into 4 to 5 cm pieces.

  2. 2

    Remove the skin from 160 g smoked mackerel and run your fingers through the flesh to feel for small bones.

  3. 3

    Slice 50 g onion as thin as possible and soak in cold water for 5 minutes.

    Drain. Halve 100 g cherry tomatoes.

    Combine chwinamul, 100 g cooked lentils, cherry tomatoes, and onion in a large bowl. Add two-thirds of the dressing and toss gently.

    Place the smoked mackerel on top, spoon over the remaining dressing, fold gently, and serve at once.

Tips

Add smoked fish at the end to keep the flakes intact.
Drain the lentils thoroughly before adding them so the dressing does not become watery.
