Recently, I was challenged to try a new food. You know all those bloggers that try a new vegetable every week…well, I got stuck in a rut with buying the same groceries over and over and decided to try a culinary adventure\u00a0and experiment on something that can be prepared on a microwave. It wasn\u2019t that bad as I was able to prepare good food and save energy<\/a> along the way.<\/p>\n

I decided to try Mackerel. Now, if you know me, you\u2019ll understand I like fish, but I\u2019m a little choosier about what kind. Perhaps it\u2019s my prairie upbringing, where beef and chicken are \u201cwhere it\u2019s at\u201d, but I have a little trouble with certain kinds of seafood. Calmari is like eating rubber. Sea cucumber is just not nice. Prawns are just so big\u2026I don\u2019t know what to do with it.<\/p>\n

Typically, I end up with Salmon, Herring, or Tuna. For me, they\u2019re the safe seafood.<\/p>\n

So, I decided to go out of my comfort zone and try something new. I bought a can of Mackerel<\/a> (because I couldn\u2019t find it fresh anywhere!) and then wondered what I was going to do with it. What I came up with, was a simple appetizer\u2026 perfect for an East coast dinner, maybe with seafood chowder and a green salad. The result was actually quite delicious.<\/p>\n

These are super quick to whip up and literally take two minutes to make. I used the microwave to heat the appetizers up. If you want to eat this as a healthy snack or light meal, but don\u2019t have much time, you can just use a microwave to cook it perfectly every time. Easy peasy. Serves 6.<\/p>\n

Gluten Free Soft Mackerel Tacos<\/h2>\n
    \n
  1. 6 gluten free, soft corn tortillas, small<\/li>\n
  2. 6 tsp. cream cheese<\/li>\n
  3. 1\/2 can of Mackarel fish<\/li>\n
  4. 1\/2 cup Italian parsley leaves<\/li>\n
  5. 1\/2 lemon<\/li>\n
  6. Sea salt and pepper, to taste<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Rinse the fish from the can and cut into small pieces.<\/p>\n

    Spread the cream cheese (about 1 tsp) on each tortilla. Top with fish and a few parsley leaves.<\/p>\n

    Squeeze fresh lemon on top and sprinkle salt and pepper on, to taste.<\/p>\n

    Microwave for 20-30 seconds and serve warm.<\/p>\n
