Baked Mackerel with House Rub

Posted on July 7, 2013
If you're trying to get healthy and lower your cholesterol, then mackerel really is the fish for you... It is super high in omega-3 fatty acids and is the kind of food we are perpetually being told we should eat lots more of. Tedious though I know it can be to do what you're told to do; actually in this instance it's easy... because mackerel really is delicious, and especially delicious when cooked with a spicy rub a la Pitt Cue.

Ingredients

Get your fishmonger to gut the fish – make sure it is fresh and clear-eyed

Make some slashes diagonally in the fish – just so you can rub some flavour in (see picture)

Use 1 tablespoon of Pitt Cue House Rub – maybe a little more

Sprinkle it onto the fish and rub in a little

Add some Salt & Pepper, and a little drizzle of Extra Virgin Olive Oil

Bake at 180˚c for 25 – 30 minutes or until cooked and starting to flake a little…

Serve with some simple sides – maybe a baked potato, a crisp green salad – maybe some zucchini fries?!  Either way, a dollop of 0% Greek Yoghurt wouldn’t go amiss here…
