Filetes de Cavala em Azeite, or Mackerel Fillets in Olive Oil, is a traditional Portuguese delicacy known for its rich flavor and nutritional benefits. This dish features tender mackerel fillets preserved in high-quality olive oil, enhancing their natural taste while maintaining freshness. Mackerel is a fatty fish packed with omega-3 fatty acids, which support heart health, brain function, and reduce inflammation. It’s also an excellent source of protein, vitamins B12 and D, and minerals like selenium and iodine. Olive oil adds monounsaturated fats, promoting cardiovascular health and providing antioxidants. However, due to its rich oil content, it can be calorie-dense, so portion control is advisable, especially for those monitoring fat intake. Filetes de Cavala em Azeite are enjoyed as a standalone snack, served with bread or added to salads for a flavorful boost, embodying the essence of Mediterranean nutrition and simplicity.
