For those wondering the heat, timings and more. Great tasting dish

Step 1

1. Preheat the oven to 400°F.

Step 2

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.

Step 3

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.

Step 4

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.

Step 5

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.

Step 6

6. Serve the crushed potatoes topped with the mackerel and a drizzle of the remaining vinaigrette.

You don't need to add the saffron if you dont want to, you guys know that right?

[stopdropandroll]

dont forget one tablespoon of camera zoom

I used turmeric and a touch of chilli powder to give it some heat instead of saffron as turmeric is a member of the ginger family so can be used as great substitute

[DonkeyBlonkey]

The saffron ruined the whole "cheap" lol..

[charleshoppner]

If anyone's curious, I got a tiny 1g thing of saffron for 5$ CAD and have made this recipe twice with just a pinch each time and I'm not even close to getting through the box and the flavor was great. Not dirt cheap or anything, but if you're going to make it a few times, it's not quite as dire as it seems getting that tiny box for five bucks.

cheap fish but then I saw saffron. okay back to ramen

[tomojulitaiga]

You can use safflower, Carthamus tinctorius, instead of saffron... no need to panic people.

What I love most is how he doesn't get too descriptive w/ the recipe. He doesn't tell u exact amounts of ingredients or the heat level on the stove when he's cooking-U think u can re-create the dishes but w/o all the specifics, you're sure not to imitate proficiently-

[pauloamw]

cheap fish, but the most expensive spice in the world. OK!

[gabrielcowger]

ugh i really need to start my homework

[kevingrunert]

I cook allot of fish. Great recipe. 370° or so 15-20 min. Depending on your oven and the size of the fillet.

This would make the breakfast of kings on a crappy sleety winter day, Big mug of strong Irish breakfast tea with it.

I live in Washington state and found that Mackerel is in abundance here, however it's not desired by many fisherman. I seen this video not too long ego and decided to share it with Washington State Women Anglers with a challenge to share their Mackerel recipes. Mackerel doesn't get the recognition for which it deserves. At least I'm willing to take all the Mackerel fish home from my fishing adventures in the North West Pacific region.

Nice: 2 questions: how long and which temperature in oven, and is it smoked paprika, or just paprika?

[MikeCrawch]

Roast for how long and what should the temp be set on?

[Rkumar]

When talking about roasting in oven please always mention the temperature (ofcourse in Farenhiet and Celcius/centigrade)😀

[davidharasymowicz]

I cooked a mackerel my dad caught using this recipe.

He said «holy shit, thats good»

[Lazysquire]

How long do i bake it in the oven and what temperature?
