MEDITERRANEAN OVEN ROASTED SPANISH MACKEREL RECIPE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F and set a roasting sheet pan inside to warm.
• Using a mortar and pestle, crush garlic with salt until smooth. Add coriander and cumin and continue crushing. Mix in parsley and dill.
• Pat the fish dry, inside and out. Remove the dark vein that runs along the back of the cavity, if it's still there. And if needed, run your knife along the cavity to open it up some more. Salt generously inside and on both sides outside, then place on a lightly oiled piece of foil that is large enough to enclose the fish.
• Stuff the fish cavity with lemon slices and the garlic and herb mixture you just prepared. Drizzle generously with olive oil.
• Fold the foil over the fish lengthwise, tightly closing the top seam to trap the steam. Place the foiled fish on top of the hot sheet pan and bake in the 350 degrees F heated-oven for 30-40 minutes, depending on the thickness of the fish.
• Remove from heat and add the lemon juice. Serve immediately with suggested sides and salads (see ingredient list).

• Pour over the mackerel and then put in the oven to grill for about 5 minutes.
• If you have some fresh herbs like parsley to hand you could finely chop them and sprinkle them over the fish at this point.
• Serve with your favourite veggies.
