Ingredients
2 smoked mackerel fillets
2 eggs (poached)
100g of spinach leaves
Small knob of butter
Chili flakes and black pepper to season (optional)
Method
Step 1

Take the smoked mackerel out of the fridge. Place each fillet on a plate and put to one side.

Step 2

Wash your spinach, place in a bowl and leave it to one side.

Step 3

For the poached eggs, fill a shallow pan with water and place over a medium heat. Bring the water to a simmer.

Step 4

While the water is heating up, place a medium-sized pan over a medium heat. Add a small knob of butter and then add the wet spinach. Use a spoon to pad the spinach down and mix with the melted butter.

Step 5

Meanwhile, crack your eggs into the simmering water separately and cook for 2-3 minutes for a soft poached egg or longer depending on individual preferences.

Step 6

Once the spinach is wilted turn off the heat and place a spoonful onto each mackerel slice.

Step 7

Once cooked, remove the eggs with a slotted spoon and drain any excess water. Then place an egg on top of each mackerel and spinach portion.

Step 8

Season with chilli flakes and pepper to your own taste.
