Mackerel for dinnner=Yummy!

Tonight Brian and I had fresh caught Mackerel. How?

1) Smile nicely at guest
2) Give guest directions to a fishing charter
3) Guest gets too much fish and gives you extra's
4) Take out all of your lunch from your cooler and put fishy in there covered with ice and prays it stays good until you get home

Here is the recipe we used:

Spanish Mackerel Fillets, Baked
Yield: 6 servings

Ingredients:

2lbs Florida Spanish Mackerel fillets (any Mackerel fillets will do)
1 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon pepper
1/4 cup butter, melted
2 tablespoons lemon juice
1 teaspoon grated Florida onion
1/8 teaspoon Paprika

1) Sprinkle fillets with salt and pepper
2) Place in a single layer on a well-oiled baking pan
3) Combine margarine, lemon juice, paprika and onion
4) Cover fillets with the sauce
5) Bake at 350F for 20 to 25 minutes or until fish flakes easily when tested with a fork

We didn't know what a Florida onion was so we used a Vidalia onion and finely chopped it. I also had a lot more fish then the recipe called for so I doubled the sauce ingredients. I think that was the right choice.  We served it with some Uncle Ben's Long Grained Wild Rice.


It was very good :)
