Living in a coastal area in Holland I grew up with fish. Especially herring and mackerel. Since we eat our herring raw, I haven’t posted any recipes with that yet… But smoked mackerel is probably something more known and ‘accepted’ internationally.

Mackerel = omega 3

The great benefit from both herring and mackerel is that they are caught in the wild. So they are still packed with omega 3. Salmon in Western Europa on the other hand, comes mainly from breeding in Atlantic basins. Were the fish are being fed with grains which leads to an omega 6 surplus. Also they get treated with antibiotics.

Mustard dressing

I use mustard in the dressing. If you are in the elimination phase of AIP you can use horseradish powder instead. Add just a little more yogurt then. And only use coconut yoghurt. No other yoghurt is AIP proof.
