Aromatic Baked Mackerel Recipe

Juicy, nutritious and very satisfying mackerel for a delicious dinner! In Hebrew, this fish is called “kolyas”; you can buy it in Israel at a very low price, so the dish is extremely popular not only for the holiday table. However, even if you don’t live in Israel, this product is easily available everywhere, so let’s start preparing the aromatic baked mackerel. A serving will consist of one fish, that is, buy as much fish as you need in servings at the rate of half a kilogram of fish per serving (less is possible).
