Step-by-step cooking of baked mackerel in the oven with a photo
1. The mackerel carcass must be defrosted in advance. It is best to transfer it from the freezer to the main compartment of the refrigerator in the evening, and it will defrost in the morning. Remove the head and entrails of the fish. It is advisable to cut off the fins. We wash the carcass under plain water and dry with a paper towel.
2. We spread the fish directly into foil, greased with vegetable oil. Take half or a quarter of a lemon and squeeze the juice directly onto the fish. Turn the mackerel over to the other side and repeat the procedure.
3. Rub the fish with a mixture of herbs outside and inside. Put lemon slices inside the fish, if any.
4. Wrap the fish in foil so that the seam is on top. We send the fish to the oven heated to 180 degrees. We bake for 25 minutes, and then open the foil and increase the temperature to 220 degrees and bake for another 5-7 minutes.
5. Serve the finished fish directly in foil or transfer to a dish. Boil rice for a side dish. Bon Appetit.
