How to deliciously pickle mackerel: a recipe for cooking and more
Among the variety of species, mackerel is very popular. This fish increases immunity and gives strength to the body. During the digestion of fish, protein is easily absorbed, so it is irreplaceable in the diet of children and the elderly.
With the help of amino acids, which are abundant in mackerel, the functioning of internal organs in the human body improves and metabolic processes are regulated.
It's as easy as pie to take two frozen mackerels and salt them at home.
It may not be as healthy as oven-baked meat, but its properties are superior to smoked meat, the cost of which in stores is twice the price of fresh-frozen meat.
The fish must first be defrosted. Cut off the heads, remove the entrails, rinse and cut into small pieces. Place the pieces in a suitable container.
Pour in brine from one glass of water with a tablespoon of salt dissolved in it.
Place under pressure, covering the contents with a plate. Leave until morning.
Then drain the liquid, add two or three tablespoons of vegetable oil and two tablespoons of 9% vinegar, sprinkle with chopped onions (a medium-sized onion will do) and a couple of cloves of garlic, squeezed through a press.
Let it sit for a while and you can eat it. However, there is a huge temptation to eat it all at once, as soon as it is salted, it turns out very tasty. And let's not forget about the benefits of onions and garlic for healthy eating, especially seasoned with oil and vinegar.
But if you still decide that salty food is harmful, it is recommended to bake fish in the oven. Then you can add vegetables to the fish, for example, potatoes, eggplants, bell peppers.
Recipe for cooking mackerel in the oven
As in the first case, two mackerels are defrosted, heads and entrails are removed. Mackerel is cut into small portions, seasoned with salt and pepper, and laid out on a baking sheet covered with foil. Vegetables are salted, peppered and sent there too.
If salt is not used in food, then it is not necessary to add it to vegetables; only fish needs to be salted a little.
Cover with a layer of foil on top (for a very healthy diet). It will be very tasty if you sprinkle everything with grated cheese.
Place in the oven for approximately 20 minutes.
We take it out and enjoy the taste and benefits of this fish.
These two recipes will help many people look at frozen fish from a different perspective. It is worth trying to cook it. Even the biggest opponents of this product will like the taste of such a dish.
If you buy fresh mackerel rather than frozen, it will be much more beneficial.
