Recipe Notes | Smoked Mackerel & Horseradish Blinis | Canapé Recipe Inspiration

Another ridiculously easy canapé suggestion are these smoked mackerel blinis – the mackerel paté is also delicious on hot toast with beetroot for an easy lunch option.

Ingredients

• 1 batch of blini recipe (see recipe here)
• 1 pack of smoked & peppered mackerel
• 2 tbsp of creme fraîche
• 2 tsp creamed horseradish
• Salt and black pepper
• Juice of one lemon

Method

First, remove the skins from the mackerel fillets and then add to a bowl and using two forks shred the mackerel meat. You get quite a rustic mix doing it this way, if you prefer to use a food processor you’ll get a smoother paté.

Once shredded, mix in the creme fraîche, if you prefer a looser consistency use an extra spoon. Add the lemon, and horseradish and season with salt and pepper.

Add a spoonful to each blini and garnish with freshly chopped parsley or coriander. We also like to sprinkle with cayenne pepper for a bit of extra bite.
