Yield Serves 2

Number Of Ingredients 12

1/2 pound fresh mackerel fillets (preferably Boston)
1/2 cup water
1/4 cup white-wine vinegar
1/4 cup sugar
2 1/2 teaspoons salt
1 teaspoon pickling spices
1/4 cup cream cheese (about 2 ounces), softened
2 tablespoons sour cream
1 tablespoon chopped fresh chives
2 slices rye bread
1/2 crisp apple such as Braeburn or McIntosh
Garnish: chopped fresh chives

Steps:

  • Trim any excess skin from fish and with tweezers remove any small bones. In a saucepan just large enough to hold fillets in one layer bring water and vinegar to a boil with sugar, salt, and pickling spices and simmer 1 minute. Add fish to pickling liquid and cover with a heatproof plate slightly smaller than diameter of pan, weighting plate with a can to prevent fish from curling. Cook fish at a bare simmer 4 minutes, or until just cooked through, and transfer fish and pickling liquid to a glass dish. Chill mixture in freezer 20 minutes.
  • In a small bowl whisk together cream cheese and sour cream until smooth and whisk in chives and salt and pepper to taste. Lightly toast bread and core and slice apple thin.
  • Spread toast with chive cream and arrange apple slices over cream. Drain mackerel and top each toast with half of fish. (Alternatively, chop apples and flake fish. Stir together apple, fish, and chive cream and spread on toasts.)
  • Garnish open-faced sandwiches with chives.

These sandwiches are a great way to use up leftover pickled mackerel. I had some leftover from a previous meal, and these sandwiches were the perfect way to use it up.

I love the combination of sweet and savory in these sandwiches. The pickled mackerel is salty and tangy, while the apples are sweet and crunchy. The bread is the perfect vessel for all of these flavors.
