This keto salad is loaded with healthy fats and flavour from smoked mackerel, aromatic chorizo and creamy avocado. This makes for a hearty lunch option or even a quick and easy light dinner.

Ingredients

  • chorizo (80g sliced)
  • olive oil (2 tbsp)
  • baby spinach (2 cups)
  • smoked mackerel fillets
  • tomato (1 small sliced into thin wedges)
  • garlic (1 clove sliced)
  • avocado (1/2 sliced)
  • lemon juice (1/2 tbsp)
  • red onion (1/4 medium sliced)
  • sea salt and freshly ground black pepper (generous pinch)

METHOD

Heat a tablespoon of olive oil in a frying pan over a high heat. Add the mackerel, cooking for 3-4 minutes on one side until golden. Flip and cook for a further 2-3 minutes, until completely cooked through. Flake the fish and set aside.

Whilst the mackerel is cooking, heat the remaining olive oil in a separate pan over a medium heat and add the chorizo. Fry until golden and the chorizo releases its oils.

Remove the chorizo from the pan with a slotted spoon, retaining the oil in the pan. Add the garlic and sweat until tender, then add in the lemon juice. Let this sizzle for a moment then remove from the heat.

To assemble the salad, add the spinach, tomato, onion and avocado to a serving bowl. Season and toss to combine.

Add the flaked mackerel and the chorizo and gently combine with the salad.

Pour over the chorizo oil and lemon juice to serve.
