Hey ,
I don’t have much experience with preparing Mackerel. I usually don’t use many herbs with fish either. If you can tolerate fresh herbs, personally I like fresh dill on top with a drizzle of olive oil, put the fish in the oven and you are done.

Sometimes I change the herbs: I mix basil with mint leaves (which I know… is not a good idea for you right now, but it is just too tasty to don’t mention). Another mix of herbs if you like the taste of fresh coriander: coriander, parsley and basil.
There are some other techniques that are easy. Usually, with new recipes, I try to look at chef cooks from different countries, for example:
