- 1onion, thinly sliced into rings
- ½cup chopped parsley
- 3small garlic cloves, minced

- 1¼cups fresh bread crumbs

Preparation
- 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.
- 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.

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!
