Even chefs prepare mackerel this way, and housewives, having once tried to bake fish this way, add this cooking method to their list of favorite recipes.
Baked mackerel with garlic and paprika is a dish that will be appreciated even by those who are not particularly fond of fish.
The list of ingredients consists of:
- mackerel – 2 pcs.;
- garlic – 3 cloves;
- olive oil – 2 tablespoons;
- salt – 1 teaspoon (no heap);
- sweet paprika – 1 teaspoon.
How to prepare
1. First, separate the fish fillets, removing the bones and entrails.
2. Then prepare the marinade. Add salt, paprika, crushed garlic and olive oil (sunflower oil is also suitable) to a bowl. Mix the ingredients thoroughly.
3. Divide the fish marinating mixture into 4 parts and then distribute evenly over the fillet pieces.
4. Marinate the mackerel in the refrigerator for 3-4 hours. However, you can leave it for a longer period of time. This will make the fish even tastier.
5. Preheat the oven to 200 °C. Cover the baking tray with a baking mat and cook the fish for 15 minutes. The mackerel turns out tender, juicy and very tasty.
