Mackerel with Salsa Verde
The thing about
mackerel is that they have to be really fresh. That's the secret of any fish really but with
mackerel there's a massive difference when you eat mackerel which has just come out of
the sea. This recipe is very simple and I like mackerel served with a salsa verde, roughly
chopped by hand - rustic salsa.
'1. Heat your oven to 200°C, Gas Mark 6. 2. Make a paste with the Knorr Fish Stock
Cube and the teaspoon of olive oil, and rub this paste inside and out of the mackerel.
Place a sprig of rosemary into each cavity. 3. Heat a
little olive oil in the pan and when hot, add the fish. Spoon the oil over the fish
and add a couple of bay leaves, thyme and some more rosemary.
4. Place into
the hot oven for 7-8 minutes. 5. Make the Salsa Verde by mixing the ingredients
above together. 6. Take the
mackerel out of the oven; squeeze half the
lemon over the fish and place on a big platter. It’s nice to spoon some of the cooking juices
over the fish. 7. Garnish the fish with the remaining lemon
and fresh parsley. Serve the Salsa Verde on the side.'
