A convenient coastal Turkish spread made by mashing boiled mackerel fillets with strained yogurt and lemon. Serve it with crackers or crisp slices of bread for a quick snack.
Boil the mackerel fillets in water for 6–7 minutes, then drain them. Once cool enough to handle, check for any remaining bones.
Mash the boiled mackerel with a fork. Mix well with the strained yogurt, lemon juice, lemon zest, dill, salt, and black pepper.
Transfer the spread to a bowl and serve with crackers or crisp bread slices.
Do not overcook the mackerel or the flesh may become dry, stringy, and unappetizing when mashed. Chill the spread for at least 15 minutes before serving so it can firm up. Allergens: fish and dairy (yogurt).
