A quick and easy mackerel recipe in the oven! And also — variable! In general, I will say right away that this is a basic recipe.

Step 7

Step 8

Step 9

Step 9
Place the fish in the oven at 170 degrees. In 15 minutes it will be cooked, but will be steamed and stewed — for diet-conscious eaters. And after 20-30 minutes it will dry out and become grilled. In this form, it is good to serve with beer, or prepare a delicious salad with fresh herbs and summer vegetables and serve with cold white wine.
