Herbed Mackerel Beet Toast

4 to 6 servings Prep time: 15 min Cook time: 50 min

Mackerel, rich in anti-inflammatory omega-3s and vitamin D, is a favorite of mine for its incredible nutrients and delicious taste. Pair it with seed bread—with its hearty and satisfying texture—for a perfect match, or enjoy it on a bed of mixed greens. No matter how you try it, you’re going to love it.

Wishing you health and happiness,

Herbed Mackerel Beet Toast

Ingredients

Easy Seed Bread

  • 2 cups almond flour 
  • ⅓ cup coconut flour
  • 3 tablespoons ground flaxseeds
  • 6 tablespoons psyllium husk
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder, aluminum-free
  • 1 teaspoon Himalayan salt
  • 2 tablespoons avocado oil 
  • 1 ⅓ cups warm water
  • 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
  • 2 tablespoons mixed raw pumpkin seeds, whole flaxseeds, sunflower seeds

Mackerel Spread

  • ½ tablespoon coriander seeds, toasted and lightly crushed 
  • ½ teaspoon cumin seeds, toasted and lightly crushed 
  • 1 large pre-cooked beet, finely diced
  • 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil 
  • 1 tablespoon tarragon leaves 
  • 2 tins wild-caught mackerel in olive oil, drained
  • ½ cup small diced celery
  • 10 mint leaves, thinly sliced

    Method

     

    Step 1

    Preheat the oven to 400°F and lightly oil an 8-inch loaf pan, set aside.

    Step 2

    In a large bowl, mix all of the dry ingredients, then add all of the liquids and mix until a dough forms. Use your hands to briefly knead dough, until all liquids have absorbed. Shape into a loaf and lift it into the baking pan.

    Step 3

    Smooth surface with damp hands, and sprinkle seeds on top. Bake for 1 hour or until ready, using a skewer to test if the inside is fully baked.  Once ready, turn the loaf pan upside down, remove bread, and place rightside up onto a wire rack to cool before slicing.

    Step 4

    In a small bowl, combine the coriander and cumin seeds with the beet, apple cider, olive oil, and tarragon. Mix well and set aside.

    Step 5

    In another bowl, mix the rest of the spread ingredients until incorporated.

    Step 6

    To serve, spread mackerel over a piece of bread then top with beets and enjoy!

    We’ve all been there…trying not to cave in to our food cravings. But that’s often easier said than done because cravings can be such a primal urge.

     But my friends at Pendulum have a brand-new solution designed to help you reduce cravings in their tracks: GLP-1 Probiotic.

     GLP-1 is a natural hormone produced in your gut in response to eating. Its job is to tell your brain that you’re full. In short, this powerful gut hormone helps you maintain a healthy weight.

     And now with Pendulum’s new GLP-1 Probiotic, you’ve got the power to boost GLP-1 production*—and potentially see some amazing results.

     Check out these stats…in a consumer survey of 274 people taking GLP-1 Probiotic: 

    • 91% reported reduced overall food cravings
