Baked Mackerel In Mustard Scallion Sauce Recipes

BAKED MACKEREL IN MUSTARD-SCALLION SAUCE

Steps:

• Score the mackerel on both sides, making two or three large X's one-half-inch deep with a small sharp knife. Squeeze the half lemon over the fish.
• Combine and stir the remaining ingredients. Coat the mackerel with this mixture and allow to marinate one-half hour. Turn once during the marinating so the cuts in the fish are well coated with the sauce.
• Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
• Place mackerel in a small buttered oval baking dish and bake until the fish is opaque. Serve at once.

ROASTED MACKEREL WITH GARLIC AND PAPRIKA

Steps:

• 1. Preheat the oven to 400°F.
• 2. Put the garlic and paprika into a mortar, add the salt, and pound to a smooth paste. Add a few drops of olive oil, then rub the flesh side of the mackerel fillets with the paste and set aside.
• 3. Make the vinaigrette. Put all the ingredients into a small bowl and whisk together with a fork. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
• 4. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and brush lightly with olive oil. Lay the mackerel fillets skin side up on the paper and season the skin with sea salt. Roast for 8-10 minutes until the skin is crisp and the fish is cooked through. Remove from the oven and leave to rest.
• 5. Meanwhile, boil the potatoes in a large pan of salted water for about 15 minutes until tender, then drain. Return to the pan with 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Crush lightly with the back of a fork, then add the scallions and stir to combine. Season with salt, then add a couple of tablespoons of the vinaigrette.
• 6. Serve the crushed potatoes topped with the mackerel and a drizzle of the remaining vinaigrette.
