No desire to cook dinner for a long time? You can eat delicious food without too much hassle. For example, by cooking mackerel fillets in the oven. Only this time I propose to cut the fish into fillets. Firstly, it will reduce the cooking time, and secondly, it is much more convenient to eat this way.
Ingredients
Step-by-step cooking recipe
Remove the head of the mackerel, make a horizontal incision along the back to the belly with one confident movement.
Gut the fish, remove the spine and large bones from the ribs. You should get a whole fillet that unfolds well.
Wash the mackerel under running water and dry it with paper towels.
Mix lemon juice, olive oil, salt and ground black pepper.
Squeeze the garlic through the press and mix everything well with a spoon.
Generously lubricate the fish with the resulting mixture from all sides.
Cover the baking sheet with parchment paper, lay the mackerel skin up.
Cover with foil and place in a preheated 180 degree oven for 15 minutes.
Carefully remove the foil and continue cooking for another 5 minutes.
Put the mackerel on a plate, sprinkle with sesame seeds and basil leaves.
