Step-by-step preparation

Cooking time: 1 hr

STEP 1
Wash and clean the horse mackerel. Remove heads and entrails. If the fish is quite large, you can remove the ridge by laying it flat.
STEP 2
Add some spices to the fish.
STEP 3
Add salt.
STEP 4
Stir and leave for 10 minutes.
STEP 5
Add oil, stir and leave for another 10 minutes.
STEP 6
Place the fish tightly in one layer on the prepared baking sheet.
STEP 7
Top with chopped onion and bay leaf.
STEP 8
Place a second layer of fish tightly on top. Even at this moment, you can spread herbs, halved cherry tomatoes and butter on the fish, everything to your taste.
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.

My husband brought frozen mackerel weighing about a kilogram and asked me to cook something from it. I’ve never even seen fish like this before, well, except for small dried snacks. On the website I found a recipe for mackerel baked in the oven. It is proposed to cut a large carcass along the back. I did just that, and removed the tail and fins. I just couldn’t cut the head, so I just removed it. I laid out the horse mackerel carcass like a book, washed it well from the blood and dried it. Placed it skin side down on a sheet of foil greased with vegetable oil. Lightly grease the top with the same oil, sprinkle with lemon juice, sprinkle with salt and fish seasoning. I cut the onion into half rings and sprinkled it on top of the fish. Bake for 40 minutes at 200°. During this time, the horse mackerel was completely baked. The meat of this sea fish turned out juicy and spicy thanks to spices, onions and butter. It's unusual for me, but delicious! My husband is absolutely delighted! Homemade pickles and boiled rice went well as a side dish.
