Ingredients
Method
- Preheat the oven to 450 F. Line a large baking sheet with a parchment paper or aluminum foil. Grease the aluminum foil with a drizzle of oil to prevent fish from sticking. No need to grease the parchment paper.
- Combine listed marinade ingredients in a blender or a food processor. Blend it until smooth (coarse is fine, you do you!)
- Score the clean and gutted fish through skin and flesh on both sides and pat dry it with paper towel.
- Place Mackerel on the greased baking sheet. Apply marinade inside the scoring, in the guts, and on the skin on both sides.
- Bake on top rack at 450 F for 20-25 minutes uncovered. Broil for a minute. Serve it hot with a generous drizzle of lemon juice and your favorite fish dinner side dish.

Notes
- Double the marinate amount for 2 to 3 whole mackerel. Approximate cooking time for 2 to 3 whole fish should stay the same.
- Let the marinated fish rest in the refrigerator for 15 minutes to an hour for better flavor results.
- Cooking time may vary depending on the size of the whole mackerel. Generally 12-15 Oz fish takes about 20-25 minutes at 450 F to fully cook through. Smaller fish can take less time. Mackerel fillets take 12-15 minutes at 450 F to fully cook through. Broiling the fish for that 1 minute gives such a beautiful chard flavor to the skin.
