How to cook baked mackerel with lemon in foil and oven

First of all, you need to prepare the fish: remove the entrails, cut off the head and fins, rinse well. If the fish is frozen, you need to defrost it naturally, gradually, without removing it from the refrigerator - this will maximize the preservation of not only the taste of mackerel, but also useful vitamins and minerals in its composition. Season with salt and pepper the mackerel, pour over with lemon juice. Seasonings include parsley, dill, fennel, and rosemary. But do not overdo it with seasonings, you need to use very little of them, two pinches are enough for one fish.


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


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

Wrap the foil tightly to make an airtight "bag" and send the dish to the oven.


Bake for 20 minutes at 180 degrees, then open the foil "bag" and brown the mackerel until golden brown.
Instead of baking foil in the oven, you can use parchment or a baking sleeve. The fish will also turn out deliciously in a closed ceramic form, in it it will also bake evenly and remain juicy and tender.


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

And now a few tips on how to bake delicious mackerel in the oven:

An important secret for cooking mackerel is that it should not be cooked completely thawed, but slightly frozen. This makes it easier to cut and the fish tastes especially good.

The fish should be wiped off with a paper towel; in no case should it be washed, because the fish becomes limp from the water.

Mackerel should be opened from the back, like many predatory fish (for example, pike perch and salmon), since the deposition of fat in them occurs mainly in the abdominal cavity. In fish ripped from the anus to the throat, fat during heat treatment begins to actively melt through the incision.

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