Baked Mackerel

Mackerel is one of the easiest fish for us to catch here in Maine so I am always on the lookout for a new recipe. This is one I want to try soon. The recipe calls for 2 2-lb mackerel, but we usually catch smaller ones. I think just adjusting the baking time would allow for me to use smaller fish.

Ingredients

• 2  mackerel (about 2 lb each)
• 1  large onion, finely chopped

• 3⁄4 cup vinegar
• 1⁄2 teaspoon salt
• 1  tablespoon  chopped fresh parsley
• 1⁄4 teaspoon fresh thyme, minced

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
2. In a saucepan over low heat combine all ingredients except for the fish.
3. Cook over low heat for about 20 minutes.
4. Remove the bay leaf.
5. Place fish in a baking dish and pour the sauce over the fish.
6. Bake for 30-40 minutes.
