Baked Mackerel with Walnut and Cheese Stuffing

Ingredients

Mackerel 1

Dijon Mustard 1 tsp

Salt to taste

Walnuts 2 tsp

Mayonnaise 2 tsp

Vegetable Oil 0.5 tsp

Cheese 30 g

Prepare all the necessary ingredients. Defrost the mackerel completely at room temperature; it's best not to microwave or use hot water. Cut off the head and fins. Cut the fish down the belly, removing all the entrails, spine, and bones. Rinse the fillet and pat dry with paper towels.

Spread the mustard evenly over the fillet.

Top with chopped walnuts. You can blend them or simply chop them with a knife. Add the grated cheese as the next layer.

Fold the fish in half and tie with string to keep its shape during baking. Wrap the fish in foil and bake in the oven at 180°C for 20-25 minutes.

Unwrap the foil, brush the fish with mayonnaise, and bake for another 10 minutes without wrapping. Once the top is nicely browned, remove from the oven.

Baked mackerel with nut and cheese filling is ready.

Enjoy!
