Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Lightly oil a baking dish large enough to hold the fillets in a single layer. Rinse and dry the mackerel, then lay skin-side down in the baking dish. Season lightly with salt and pepper.

  2. Step 2

    In a sauté pan over medium heat, pour in 2 tablespoons olive oil. Add the onion and sauté until softened. Remove from heat and add the parsley, garlic and paprika. Season with salt and pepper. Stir in the bread crumbs and 3 tablespoons olive oil.

  3. Step 3

    Spoon the spiced bread crumbs evenly over the fillets. Bake until the bread crumbs are golden and the fish is opaque and tender, about 20 minutes. Squeeze lemon juice over each fillet, and serve.

This was delicious made with panko for want of fresh breadcrumbs. Also worth noting (as the original article you can reach from the desktop version of Cooking does) that this is a Nigel Slater recipe.

Delicious with fresh mackerel. I too used panko. Very tasty dish;perfect for a spring dinner. Served with potatoes and green beans.

I didn’t have any bread crumbs but this was still so good. Even my kindergartner ate it!
