Cured Mackerel and Cherries with Green Apple – Majii Leaf vinaigrette

It's summertime and as horse mackerel make their way up towards the North Sea, baskets of bright red cherries can be found lining the tables and shelves of our local markets. To make the most of this seasonal bounty, we've created this light, fruity appetizer.

Cherries and mackerel are ingredients you ordinarily wouldn't pair together, but our Foodpairing® analysis reveals that the two share similar fresh, green (cucumber-like) aromas. Cherries are also characterized by other predominantly fruity aromas and offer a sweet, tart contrast to the fatty mouth feel of horse mackerel.
