Free Healthy Recipe - Mackerel and Quinoa Patties

Dairy free, Low fat, Low GI, Wheat Free

If you've made a batch of quinoa from the night before, here's a wonderful way to use up leftovers. Combined with mackerel these make an excellent speedy evening meal. Using quinoa instead of the potato makes the fish patties a little more crumbly, but lowers the GI - just handle them with care.

Ingredients

200 grams quinoa, cooked

250 grams canned mackerel, drained

2 tbsp coriander, chopped

½ lime zested and juiced

olive oil

cracked black pepper and sea salt to season

Coriander Dressing:

¼ cup sunflower oil

1 tbsp white wine vinegar

1 tsp dijon mustard

1 tbsp coriander, chopped

cracked black pepper and sea salt to season

Method

Dressing:
Combine the ingredients together and pour over the salad greens.

Mash all the ingredients together until well combined. Using your hands form patties approx 5cm in diameter and 2 cm thick. Cook with a smear of olive oil in a non stick pan frying for 5 minutes each side or until slightly golden.

Serve with a mixed green salad and coriander dressing.

Note : Mackerel can be substituted with salmon, tuna or sardines.
