I bake mackerel with potatoes, carrots and onions. But it will be delicious with lemon too.

I cooked mackerel with potatoes in foil in the oven for dinner. I did not cut off the head of the fish, but I carefully removed the gills from it, as debris can collect in them. I not only poured lemon juice over the fish, but also placed several lemon slices in the belly. I put everything in a large piece of foil, covered it with another sheet and baked it. I have prepared similar dishes more than once, and every time I never tire of admiring them - simple, satisfying, tasty, not a dinner, but a holiday! Thanks for the good recipe.

Before posting questionable recipes, buy cookware. Aluminum foil is a path to stomach cancer, Alzheimer's disease and others. Pay attention to what the foil looks like before and after baking. She gave you everything you need for stomach cancer, albeit a small portion, but if you often cook in foil, the harmful substance will accumulate in you and cancer is 100% guaranteed. Although they say living now is harmful. Fruits for long-term storage are treated with biphenyl, and this is very harmful, it is prohibited in the European Union and the USA, but here you eat for your health and die from cancer, the water from the tap corrodes the pipes. For example, our water is even worse than technical water. We buy it on tap at the store for drinking and cooking.
