Step 1

Step 1
How to make mackerel in a jar in the oven baked with onions? You can cook from both fresh and frozen fish. The recipe used frozen mackerel. First, defrost the fish at room temperature. Prepare onions, carrots, sour cream, bay leaves, a few black peppercorns and a pinch of salt.

Step 2

Step 2
Cut off the heads and tails of the mackerel. Don’t rush to throw them away; you can later use them to make an excellent fish broth for fish soup or soup. Remove the entrails and rinse the fish under running water. Cut the mackerel carcasses into pieces approximately two to three centimeters thick. Peel and wash the onions and carrots.

Step 3

Step 3
Cut the onion into rings or half rings (as you like), grate the carrots on a coarse grater, add salt and a little allspice to the sour cream, if desired.
