JO 155x255

  1. Peel the skin off the mackerel and discard, then place the fish in a bowl with the soft cheese. Add a good grating of lemon zest and squeeze in half the juice, then mash to a chunky pâté, or until it’s the right consistency for you. Season to taste with sea salt and black pepper.
  2. Halve the cucumber lengthways, scoop out and discard the seeds, then finely slice at an angle and put in a large bowl. Slice the apple into fine matchsticks, discarding the stalk and core, then add into the bowl.
  3. Squeeze over the remaining lemon juice, add 1 tbsp extravirgin olive oil and toss to coat. Trim the lettuce, click apart the leaves and tear into the bowl. Pick in the parsley leaves, then toss together.
  4. Divide the pâté and salad between plates and serve with some Melba toasts or slices of crusty bread.
