Mackerel is an underrated fish that’s packed full of flavour, beneficial omega-3 fatty acids, vitamin B-12 and other important nutrients that can benefit your health while being a budget-friendly and sustainable option too. Buy at its freshest, when in season if you can. Good mackerel will have a shining eyes, colourful skin, blood-red gills and a firm, muscular feel. Their flesh is rich, dark and oily and must be eaten very fresh. Despite the simplicity of the recipe, roasted mackerel with fresh herb, potato, and tomatoes makes a perfect oven-to-table family meal!

- Preheat oven to 200C/400F. Line a large baking tray with aluminum foil for easy clean up.
- Peel and cut the potatoes into bite-sized pieces and boil in a saucepan of boiling water for 5 minutes. Remove and drain well.
- Season the mackerels with salt and pepper and drizzle over the lemon juice. Put a handful of dill or the herbs of your choice, a few of crashed garlic cloves and sliced ginger into the cavity of each fish.
- Place the fish into the baking tray and pour over the melted butter, reserving a tablespoon for the potatoes. Arrange the par-boiled potatoes and tomatoes around fish. Sprinkle with a little more salt and pepper and drizzle with the reserved butter. Roughly chop some dill and sprinkle all over if you like.
- Roast until fish is opaque and cooked through and potatoes are tender, about 20-25 minutes. Sprinkle with the chopped dill and serve with lemon wedges.

...Holy Mackerel, that looks good!
Great dish-looks delicious
Happy weekend Angie
After all these years I still don't like my dinner staring at me.
Gracias por la receta. Te mando un beso.
Almost never cook mackerel -- don't know why not. Not a "sexy" fish, I guess, but an awfully good one. Super nice recipe -- thanks.
I love mackerels. Fried or make curry with it. My hubby will be going to deep sea fishing next week. Heard the mackerel season is here so expecting him to catch some big mackerels back.
Yummy but without the head, I couldn't sit there and eat fish with it's head still there.
healthy baked fish, the lemony flavour with spices makes it flavourful!!
Eating fish is always necessary and exquisite. Very tasty what you propose. Of course, without the head! (Poor thing!)
I wish you a beautiful weekend!
gRACIAS POR compartir tus recetas, me vienen muy bien, son muy sanas, bye bye
Sin duda es uno de los mejores pescados y al horno es una forma estupenda de comerla con esa guarnición tan sencilla y buena. Un plato muy sano además.
Un beso.
Hello, Angie
I am not sure if I have had Mackerel, the meal looks healthy and delicious.
Thanks for sharing your recipe. Take care, have a happy weekend.
It is nice that you have fresh dill even though it is still early days of spring and snow in parts of Europe.
Love mackerel especially when they are fresh.
I really like mackerel. We catch it in the summer. Unfortunately lots of people don't like it because it has a stronge taste, but I am glad to read how nutritious it is. I like catching sustainable fish, and eating them too. hugs-Erika
@DEZMOND We have snow today too, but you can easily get fresh dills in farmer markets. I bought 3 huge bunches today too..each for 1 euro.
I like baking whole fish since you get the added flavor of the bones cooking into the meat. I bought some mackerel at my local Asian grocery (standard supermarkets don't carry much fresh fish). I'm a great fan of fish but personally I thought they tasted a little too 'fishy' for my liking!
That's one way I have never cooked fish being whole. We've caught many mackerals here and usually filet and grill it bet this was pretty tasty
I love mackerel. This dish looks fanastic.
I should roast a mackerel, I can get them cleaned at my supermarket.
Che buoni! Che fortuna avere a tavola un piatto così!
Mackerel fishing was very popular in my old hometown. I used to see the fishing trawlers come in and drop off their fish at the local fish market at the side of the harbor. Lovely recipe Angie, thanks again!
A fish I never cook, and yet your dish looks delicious!
Mackerel looks juicy and yummy, healthy dish. Happy weekend bestie
That looks so beautiful. love mackeral and this looks so simple but delicious

I love eating fish. The mackerel sounds delicious.

Looks yum 😊!
Ottimo!!!!
Italian name is "sgombro". One of my favourite fishes. Delicious and healthy. Thank you for this precious recipe, Angie!

Great dish with simple yet wonderful flavours. Beautiful presentation, too!
Mackerel is a great choice from a sustainability standpoint and for the nutritional value. I am probably getting wimpy, but I find it a little disquieting to find the whole fish on my plate. I have no doubt I would feel the same way about a whole chicken.
Woohoo! Mackerel definitely gets A+ rating in my list :)
Not a big fish fan.. thanks for sharing.
Angie, Beautiful presentation as usual! I had mackerel once but thought that it was too oily for me. Of course, the odds of finding fresh mackerel here in East Tennessee are slim to none... Take Care, Big Daddy Dave
One of our favourite fish and looks great! Presentation is perfect dear Angie! Also I would like to try this recipe with horse-mackerel and anchovies.
I always had fried mackerel, never saw it baked. You definitely convinced me to bake them the next time around
Great recipe for mackerel, beautiful presentation too.
