Peppered, wood-smoked Irish mackerel fillets are a delicious source of natural protein and omega-3. For a light lunch, pair with a cherry tomato and spinach salad.

To prepare our peppered mackerel recipe, start by making the dressing. In a small bowl, combine the mashed garlic paste with the olive oil and vinegar and whisk well. Add salt and pepper to taste and allow to stand for five minutes or so, letting the flavours develop.
Step 2
In a large bowl, mix the cold, well-drained pasta, cherry tomatoes and onion. Remove the John West Mackerel Fillets from their cans and and add to the salad along with any remaining juices. Pour over the dressing and serve immediately, whilst still nice and moist.
