    Hi B. and Daniel,

    Thinking of trying Mackeral. 
    Unfortunately, can’t tolerate dry herbs.

    How would you recommend making it?

    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. Usually, I would put a few slices of lemon on top, but you can leave them away. It will still taste delicious!

    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:

    The French cook fish in Court Bouillion giving the fish a different taste:
    • Here is a recipe from a french chef explaining the process.

    When you referred to the best cooking process for fish, I wrote an article about that a while ago. Here is the link to that article!

    Hi ,

    Excellent article which you wrote. Thank you for the link.

    I baked the mackeral using coriander, parsely and basil. It turned out amazing. Unfortunately, the stomach couldn’t cope with the oil. To be honest, I had the entire fish to prevent histamine building up if I had it later.
