Cooking steps

1. Remove the skin and bones from the cold-smoked mackerel fillet and cut it into small pieces.

   Required ingredients:

   • Smoked mackerel: 600 g

2. Boil the potatoes in their skins (do not salt!). The center of the tuber should remain slightly raw — the potatoes should not be overcooked and falling apart! Cool, peel, and cut into 2x2 cm cubes.

   Required ingredients:

   • Potato: 4 pieces

3. Mix grainy mustard, olive oil, soy sauce, and lemon juice until smooth.

   Required ingredients:

   • Grainy mustard: 4 tablespoons
   • Olive oil: 100 ml
   • Soy sauce: 1 tablespoon
   • Lemon juice: 1 tablespoon

4. As a 'cushion', lay a mixture of salad leaves (such as romaine, frisée, radicchio, and corn) on a plate, place pieces of mackerel and potato cubes on top, and drizzle with sauce.

   • Mixed salad leaves: 100 g
