Smoked mackerel, beetroot and horseradish bowl
8 min · 26 g protein · 351 cals / serving
A very British ten-minute bowl: peppery watercress, sweet cooked beetroot and crisp apple under big flakes of smoked mackerel, with a cool horseradish yogurt spooned over. Rich, earthy and sharp, and all from packets in the chiller cabinet.
Ingredients
Horseradish yogurt
- scant 2/3 cup nonfat Greek yogurt
- 4 tsp horseradish, hot creamed or grated, from a jar
- 2 tsp lemon juice
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp black pepper
- 1 bag watercress, or rocket
- 1 pack (4 small) cooked beets, vacuum-packed, not in vinegar, cut in wedges
- 1/2 granny smith apple, cut in thin matchsticks
- a few thin rings red onions
- 2 small fillets smoked mackerel, skin removed, flaked
- 2 tbsp fresh chives, snipped
Steps
- Stir the yogurt, horseradish, lemon juice, salt and pepper together; taste and add more horseradish if you like it hot.
- Divide the watercress between two bowls and top with the beetroot, apple and red onion.
- Lay the mackerel flakes over, spoon on the horseradish yogurt and scatter with chives.
Good to know
Peppered or plain mackerel?
Either. Peppered fillets bring their own heat; with them, go easier on the horseradish and leave out the black pepper.
Can I make it go further with less mackerel?
Yes: one fillet between two, plus a halved boiled egg each, keeps the smoky taste and lightens the bowl, at about 66 instead of 60 for the mackerel change alone.

Computed from the ingredients with our published formula, not yet kitchen-tested. How
As written, 702 kcal goes into the pot and 767 g of ingredients comes out as about 767 g of food: 92 kcal per 100 g. Cooking moves water and energy density is the score's biggest lever, so the dish is scored as cooked, not as an average of its parts. Every ingredient links to its food page, with the same data and score. The label's percentages are each macronutrient's share of the calories. The full formula.
