Marinated mackerel, baked in the oven and on a barbecue, soup and cutlets from a sea dweller canned in oil - all these dishes do not disappear from the menu of our family. If we talk specifically about baking fish in the oven, now I can boast of knowing about 10 different ways of this process. However, today I will tell you about the simplest version with which I started.

Ingredients:

• 1 mackerel;

2. Prepare the fish. Cut off the head, tails and fins, and remove the entrails and thin black film from the inside of the carcass. Rinse the mackerel under cold running water and pat dry with paper towels.

   

   Peel and wash fish thoroughly before cooking

3. Pour lemon juice on the inside and outside, sprinkle with salt and spices.

   

   For fish, you can use a ready-made seasoning or a mixture of your favorite dried herbs.

4. Place the prepared food on a large piece of baking foil, brush the inside with olive oil.

   

   Use a large piece of foil to wrap the entire carcass comfortably

5. Wrap the carcass by folding the foil into an envelope. Leave a small hole in the foil for steam to escape or pierce it.

   

   Do not forget to leave a hole for steam to escape, otherwise the fish will look like boiled

6. Place the fish in the refrigerator and leave to marinate for 1–2 hours, or better yet, overnight.
7. Before baking, remove the food from the refrigerator and let it warm up at room temperature for half an hour.
8. Bake the mackerel at an oven temperature of 190-200 degrees for 20 minutes.

9. Serve the cooked fish whole or in portions with a side dish of your choice.
