Time 15m

Yield 2 to 3 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 pound mackerel steaks
1 onion, sliced
1 lemon, sliced
3 whole cloves
1 medium clove garlic, minced
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
1/2 teaspoon ground coriander
2 teaspoons sugar
1 cup dry white wine
1/4 cup wine vinegar
Strips of sweet red pepper

Steps:

  • Place mackerel in pan (not an aluminum pan, since the aluminum may interact with the vinegar and discolor the sauce). Add all remaining ingredients except for red pepper strips. Cover pan and bring to simmer. Simmer about 10 minutes for one-inch-thick steaks, less if steaks are thinner. Remove from heat and chill overnight to give fish flavor.
  • Fish may be served with or without the jelly that forms. It should be decorated with the onion and lemon slices and strips of red pepper. It will keep several days.

This recipe is a great starting point, but I think it could be improved with a few more spices.

The sauce is a little too sour for my taste. I think I'll use less lemon juice next time.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my mackerel turned out dry. I'll have to try this recipe again.

The mackerel was cooked perfectly. It was tender and flaky, but not overcooked.
