Ingredients
4 fresh mackerel fillets, pin-boned
(100g each)
1 tbsp olive oil
2 lemons, juiced, plus 1 extra lemon cut into wedges
3 garlic cloves, chopped
5 vine tomatoes, cored, seeded, and diced
1 large handful flat-leaf parsley, roughly chopped
freshly ground black pepper
baguette slices, to serve (optional
)
Method
- Preheat the oven to 180°C (160° fan)/ gas 4.
- Arrange the mackerel fillets in an oval baking dish or ovenproof pan.
- Whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, chopped garlic, and diced tomatoes in a mixing bowl. Season with some freshly ground black pepper.
- Spoon the mixture over the fish. Bake for 15-20 minutes until the mackerel is firm to the touch and opaque in appearance.
- Remove from the oven and let stand briefly before sprinkling with some chopped parsley and serving with lemon wedges and the baguette slices on the side, if desired.
Chefs tips
- Serve with a mixed salad instead of bread for a low-carb version.
