How to Make Baked Mackerel with Lemon in Foil and Oven

First of all, you need to prepare the fish: take out the insides, cut off the head and fins, rinse well. If the fish is frozen, it needs to be thawed naturally, gradually, without being removed from the refrigerator - this will maximize preserve not only the taste of the mackerel, but also the beneficial vitamins and minerals in its composition. Salt and pepper the mackerel, pour lemon juice on it. From seasonings, you can use parsley, dill, fennel and rosemary. But do not overdo it with seasonings, they need to be used very little, two pinches will be enough for one fish.


Cut the carcass into portions and put on a foil greased with sunflower oil.
Some grease mackerel with sauce, if you wish, you can grease it with sour cream, but I prefer not to grease it with anything.


Put slices of lemon between pieces of mackerel. At the same time, try to have its zest protruding above the edge of the fish.
If you have tomatoes, you can replace a couple of slices of lemon with rings of tomatoes.

Wrap the foil tightly to make a sealed “bag” and place the dish in the oven.


Bake for 20 minutes at a temperature of 180 degrees, then open the “packet” of foil and brown the mackerel until golden brown.
Instead of baking foil in the oven, you can use parchment or a baking sleeve. Also, the fish will turn out to be delicious in a closed ceramic form, in it it will also bake evenly and remain juicy and tender.


Such a fish can also be baked in a slow cooker. To do this, put onion rings at the bottom of your multicooker, lay the mackerel on top and bake at low power for about 20-25 minutes.

Well, in conclusion, I still want to remind you once again that this type of fish is best combined with lemon. We watch the recipe video and run to the kitchen to cook a healthy dinner.

I will be glad to your comments. I hope it was useful!

Mackerel is a very healthy and tasty fish, and in order to preserve all the nutrients it contains, you need to cook it in healthy ways, such as pickling (fermentation), boiling and baking. For some reason, it seems that boiled mackerel is somehow not interesting (have you ever eaten this?).

You can cook slightly salted mackerel with lemon. To do this, cut the mackerel into fillets, cut into slices, add a little salt, and then pour the slices with lemon juice and leave to marinate for at least 20 minutes. Or in the Far Eastern style: pour the mixture with lemon juice. It will be delicious. In any case, for pickling it will be more beneficial to use acidic fruit juices and natural vinegars. But when pickling, we also use table salt (or soy sauce, in which salt is also more than enough).

But when baking, you can do without salt and soy sauce, which in excessive quantities are not at all useful for the human body.

It is not at all difficult to cook mackerel with lemon, baked in the oven in the sleeve, and even better - in foil.

About the sleeve. Chef's sleeves are made from cellophane, which is a substance of organic origin. So, when heated, cellophane can (and most likely it is) release into the cooked food if it’s conditionally safe, then it’s definitely unnecessary for the body. Therefore, foil is preferable.

When buying mackerel, we select only fresh or fresh-frozen fish without damage to the skin and carcass, with clear eyes.

An important secret to cooking mackerel - it should be cooked not completely thawed, but slightly frozen. So it is easier to cut, and the fish acquires a particularly pleasant taste.

The fish should be wiped with a paper towel, it should never be washed, because from the water, the fish turns sour.

Mackerel should be opened from the back, as well as many predatory fish (for example, pikeperch and salmon), since the deposition of fat occurs mainly in the abdominal cavity. In fish, torn from the anus to the throat, fat during heat treatment begins to actively accumulate through the incision.

Do not cook mackerel for the future (except for freezing with roll), fry or salt as much as you can eat today, since the next day you will experience a slight aftertaste of rancidity in baked, fried or salted mackerel.

Mackerel is a delicacy fish with soft and tender meat, and it is quite affordable and easy to prepare. Its popularity among hostesses is also explained by useful properties. The meat of this fish is rich in omega-3 fatty acids, it contains many vitamins (which is worth only vitamin B12!) And minerals important for health (phosphorus, sodium, chromium).

In addition to baking in the oven, this fish can be fried, salted, stuffed, marinated, grilled and even cooked on its own. With it, excellent soups and salads are obtained, which belong to the category of dietary ones, since they contain only healthy fats and proteins, which are absorbed incredibly quickly.

Recipes

Baked mackerel in the oven - a versatile dish that is suitable for daily family dinner, will easily take the main place at any holiday feast.

There are many ways to bake it in the oven: you can cut the mackerel into slices or put it in the oven whole, form rolls and steaks, add vegetables and cheese to a baking sheet, stuff it with some goodies - prunes or lemon, pour it with all kinds of sauces, use a sleeve or foil, bake under sour cream. In general, additional ingredients can be absolutely anything, the main thing is that the fish itself is fresh.

If you decide to bake the whole carcass, you can not cut off the head, but be sure to get the gills completely and very carefully. Mackerel is usually stuffed with herbs, garlic and lemon, and another recipe is very popular - stuffed with onions, carrots and tomatoes. Especially delicious are dishes that do not require the full opening of the abdomen - they preserve fat better, and this adds richness to the dish.

A lot of time for cooking mackerel in the oven is not required - the fish can be eaten in 35-40 minutes. Another huge plus of mackerel - it does not need to be cleaned, it does not have scales. When choosing spices, give preference to white and black pepper, allspice peas, mustard seeds, garlic or use a special mixture of seasonings for fish dishes.

Whichever recipe you choose, be careful not to overexpose the mackerel in the oven - too much time can make it dry. The likelihood of avoiding this problem will be higher if you cook fish with lemon juice, mayonnaise or sour cream, and some other sauce is suitable.

The usual recipe for baked mackerel with lemon

Sea fish baked with lemon is a classic dish, very tasty and convenient for cooking. Citrus gives mackerel aristocratic acidity and enhances its noble aroma, the fish will be very soft and juicy. To make the taste even more piquant, you need to add onions.

This dish looks very appetizing and beautiful - no worse than in a restaurant.

Attention!

Do not overdo it with lemon! Otherwise, the fish may get too pronounced sour taste.

Ingredients:

• 1 large or 2 small fish carcasses
• lemon - 1 pc.
• onions - 1 pc.
• salt, pepper, spices - to taste
• mayonnaise - 1 tablespoon
• hard cheese - optional
• vegetable oil

Cooking method

Mackerel must be thawed properly. Do this gradually, avoiding sudden changes in temperature. Defrosting on the lower shelves of the refrigerator will be enough.

1. The first stage is the preparation of fish. It needs to be gutted, cut along the abdominal line, remove the head and fins.
2. Next, we wash the fish under running water, not forgetting to pay attention to the internal cavity: completely wash off the black film from the mackerel ribs.
3. We rub the fish with salt, pepper and seasonings (dill, fennel, parsley, rosemary are suitable), you can add a little mayonnaise if desired. We leave the mackerel to marinate for 25-30 minutes in a cool place.
4. After pickling, you can make cuts on the fish (in depth and obliquely) - divide it as if into portions 2.5-4 cm thick, but do not cut it to the end.
5. Onion and lemon cut into half rings. The skin of a lemon may be slightly bitter in a dish. If you don’t like it, you need to clean it off.
6. Now we put onion half rings of a suitable size into the incisions, and fill the belly of the mackerel with lemon slices. As an option - we put onions inside, and we simply lay the lemon on a fish.
7. Lubricate the baking sheet or baking dish with oil and send the fish there.
8. We put everything in the oven preheated to 180 ° and bake for 35–45 minutes until fully cooked and golden brown.
9. We put the baked mackerel on a large plate and decorate with greens, lemon slices or a side dish.

Serve the dish as hot or completely cooled. It is recommended to cool the fish if you want it to taste like a smoked mackerel.

Bake mackerel with tomato sauce

This option will be a great dish for lunch or dinner. Even one who has never cooked can make this fish - even fried eggs are more difficult than baking a carcass of a mackerel in foil.

Despite the simplicity of cooking, the fish turns out to be really tasty, with tender and juicy meat, appetizing aroma. Any garnish is suitable for it - boiled rice or potatoes, fresh or stewed vegetables, etc.

Recipe Information

• Type of dish: fish dishes
• Cooking Method: Roasting
• Servings: 1-2
•   30-40 min

Ingredients:

• fresh frozen mackerel - 1 pc.
• coarse salt - 15 g
• mayonnaise, 60-70% fat - 30 g
• tomato sauce - 30 g
• lemon seasoning for fish - 2 tsp

Cooking method:

We clean the fish: we remove the head, entrails and just rinse the abdomen with water. I lightly wipe with a napkin to remove excess drops of liquid. Thus, we obtain a ready-made semi-finished product for baking.


  Sprinkle with salt on all sides. But be careful not to oversalt the fish. Since salt is already present in mayonnaise and tomato sauce. In this case, a little salt is needed.


  We cover the fish with tomato sauce. I water it with a spoon and distribute it on top and inside. Helping hands to open the abdomen.


  I also lubricate the fish with mayonnaise so that the fish does not turn out more juicy and tender. I don’t put extra fat - mackerel itself is not dry.


  Sprinkle with lemon seasoning. Enough just outside. Soaked in sauces and seasonings, the fish should lie down a little and marinate for 15 minutes.


  Then I cut the fish into portions 3-4 cm thick, so after baking the fish will be harder to cut.


  I spread the pieces of mackerel on a baking sheet, which I traditionally line with foil. If you wish, you can make a substrate of onions. Thus, the fish will not stick, and the onions can be eaten. I don’t even pour vegetable oil. Although, if you will not use a pillow made of onions, then drop a couple drops of oil on the foil.


  I bake mackerel in a hot oven set at 160-180 degrees. Time - no more than 25 minutes. I take out a hot ready-made fish from the oven.


  I leave it for 10 minutes to recover at room temperature, and at this time I begin to set the table.

Note to the hostess:

Sleeve Recipe

There are a lot of solutions for cooking mackerel in the sleeve. With this method, the fish is well baked, remaining soft and juicy. We offer the simplest recipe for a delicious and fragrant fish.

The list of products is minimal:

• mackerel - 1-2 pcs.
• salt, pepper, lemon - to taste
• vegetable oil

A very simple step-by-step scheme:

1. We cut the fish and carefully wash it - if the mackerel is poorly washed, it can give bitterness.
2. Rub with spices, sprinkle with lemon juice.
3. We put the mackerel in the baking sleeve and put in the oven for 35–40 minutes (temperature - 200 °).

It is best to serve fish cooked in a sleeve with rice or a potato side dish.

1. Use for cooking not completely thawed fish, but slightly frozen - mackerel will additionally marinate in its own juice and will acquire a particularly piquant taste. You can cook when the mackerel begins to succumb to the knife.
2. It happens that mackerel is harvested for future use - it is very convenient. Rub the fish with spices, put slices of lemon in the slices, leave for 15-20 minutes and put in the freezer. When you need to cook, mackerel directly frozen put in the oven. The baking time in this case increases by 10–20 minutes.
3. It is better to open the mackerel from the dorsal part, since the main deposits of fat are collected in her abdominal cavity. Otherwise, at high temperature, the fat will melt through the slot.
