Mackerel on a potato pillow

Ingredients

  • Mackerel — 1 pcs
  • Zucchini — 100 g
  • Potato — 150 g
  • Lemon juice — 30 ml
  • Dry oregano — 1 g
  • Herbes de Provence
  • Salt
  • Mozzarella cheese — 100 g

Method

  1. Preheat the oven to 180 degrees Celsius (350 degrees Fahrenheit).
  2. Peel the mackerel and carefully divide each fish into two parts. Remove any bones from the fish.
  3. Mix your preferred spices in a bowl and use the mixture to marinate the mackerel pieces. Make sure to coat both sides of the fish with the spices.
  4. Grate the cheese and set it aside.
  5. Cut the zucchinis into thin slices and place them in a separate bowl. Pour the lemon juice over the zucchini slices to marinate them.
  6. Boil the potatoes until they are tender. Once cooked, chop the potatoes until they become smooth and mashed.
  7. Take one part of the mackerel and place some grated cheese on it. Roll up the fish to secure the cheese inside and hold it in place using a toothpick. Repeat this process for the second piece of mackerel.
  8. Place the cheese-filled mackerel on a baking tray and bake them in the preheated oven for about 15 - 20 minutes or until the fish becomes tender and cooked through.
  9. Once the mackerel is cooked, remove it from the oven and let it cool down slightly.
  10. While the fish is cooling, take the thin slices of raw zucchini and use them to wrap the mashed potatoes, forming rectangular shapes to create a "potato pillow."
  11. Place the baked mackerel on top of the potato pillows.
  12. Serve your Cheesy Baked Mackerel with Zucchini and Potato Pillow, and enjoy your delicious meal!
  13. Note: Feel free to adjust the spices and seasoning to your taste preferences. You can also add some fresh herbs or a drizzle of olive oil for added flavor. Bon appétit!
