SMOKED MACKEREL NOODLES WITH CUCUMBER AND HERBS



Smoked Mackerel Noodles With Cucumber and Herbs image

I adore smoked mackerel. It's a great source of omega oils. Any thin, Asian-style noodle will work nicely in this recipe, which can be served warm or cold. I often use Vietnamese rice noodles, about the thickness of linguine.

HOW TO SMOKE FISH



How to Smoke Fish image

Where there's smoke, there's flavor. Smoking fish at home may sound intimidating, but it's no more complicated than grilling. Just add aromatic wood to a charcoal grill and let the fragrant, flavorful smoke do its work.

Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Breakfast & Brunch Recipes

Time 2h30m

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 cups water
1 cup muscovado sugar or packed dark-brown sugar
Coarse salt
2 skin-on trout fillets (8 ounces each), boned
1 whole trout (1 1/4 pounds), backbone and pin bones removed
1 side skin-on arctic char (1 1/4 pounds)
Wood trimmings or apple wood chips (1 cup for trout fillets or 2 cups for whole trout or char)
Vegetable oil, for grill basket

Steps:

  • Make the brine: Combine water, sugar, and 1/2 cup salt. Place fish in a nonreactive dish; cover with brine. Refrigerate for 2 hours.
  • Heat charcoal grill to medium, piling coals on 1 side to set up direct and indirect heat zones. Set a drip pan under the grill grate in the indirect heat zone.
  • Soak wood trimmings in water for 30 minutes. Drain (if smoking whole trout or char, leave 1/2 cup wood in water); add to coals.
  • Smoke the fish: Once smoke develops, place fish in a lightly oiled grill basket. Transfer to grill rack, and set over drip pan. Open lid vent, and position over fish. (This will direct smoke to impart maximum smokiness.) For the trout fillets: Smoke fish until cooked through but not dry, 12 to 15 minutes.For the whole trout: Smoke for 10 minutes. Flip basket. Drain remaining 1/2 cup wood; add to coals. Smoke fish until cooked through but not dry, 8 to 10 minutes more.For the side of arctic char: Smoke for 10 minutes. Drain remaining 1/2 cup wood; add to coals. Smoke fish until cooked through but not dry, 13 to 15 minutes more.

Tips:

  • Use fresh, high-quality fish. This will ensure that your dish is as flavorful and delicious as possible.
  • Smoke the fish properly. This is essential for getting the best flavor and texture. If you are new to smoking fish, be sure to do some research or follow a trusted recipe.
  • Use a variety of vegetables. This will add color, flavor, and texture to your dish. Some good options include cucumber noodles, bell peppers, and carrots.
  • Make your own dressing. This is a great way to control the flavor of your dish. A simple vinaigrette made with olive oil, vinegar, and herbs is a good option.
  • Serve the dish immediately. This is when the fish is at its best. If you need to store the dish, be sure to do so in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

Conclusion:

Smoked fish with cucumber noodles is a light, refreshing, and flavorful dish that is perfect for a summer meal. The smoky flavor of the fish pairs perfectly with the crisp, cool cucumbers.
