Oven-Baked Mackerel with Sour Cream

A wonderful and simple recipe for mackerel baked in sour cream. Mackerel in sour cream is delicious both stewed and baked in the oven. Fish is fatty and healthy, so try to include it in your diet as often as possible. There is practically no fuss with mackerel — the fish is small-boned, absolutely without scales, and is simply cut up. Mackerel is tasty and self-sufficient on its own — in its own juice or with minimal additives, as in the proposed recipe. Onion rings add a certain piquancy, juiciness and aroma to baked fish and serve as a kind of side dish.
