Mackerel and beetroot match perfectly with each other and this is a really quick and easy way to partner them. The peppery flavour of the watercress and kick of horseradish will make you forget you're being virtuous.

Heat the oven to 200C/fan 180C/gas 6. Toss the beetroot quarters with 1 tsp oil, season, tip onto a baking tray and roast for 20 minutes. Leave to cool a little. Mix the horseradish, natural yoghurt, Dijon and half the dill and season. Add a little lemon juice to loosen. Divide the watercress between 4 plates, break up the smoked mackerel and scatter on top with the beetroot wedges. Drizzle over the dressing and remaining dill to serve.
