Categories     main course

Time 1h

Yield 2 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 1/2 to 2 3/4 pound whole mackerel, cleaned, gutted but left whole
1/2 lemon
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1/2 cup creme fraiche
2 tablespoons prepared whole-grain mustard
2 teaspoons lemon juice
4 scallions, finely chopped, including the green tops
Salt, if desired

Steps:

  • Score the mackerel on both sides, making two or three large X's one-half-inch deep with a small sharp knife. Squeeze the half lemon over the fish.
  • Combine and stir the remaining ingredients. Coat the mackerel with this mixture and allow to marinate one-half hour. Turn once during the marinating so the cuts in the fish are well coated with the sauce.
  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
  • Place mackerel in a small buttered oval baking dish and bake until the fish is opaque. Serve at once.

I made this recipe with a few healthy substitutions. I used whole-wheat breadcrumbs instead of white breadcrumbs, and I also added some chopped spinach to the sauce. It turned out great!

I love spicy food, so I added a pinch of cayenne pepper to the mustard-scallion sauce. It gave the dish a nice kick without overpowering the other flavors.
