Instruction manual
1
Wash and gut the mackerel. Cut off her head. Grate the fish inside and out with a mixture of salt, ground pepper and fish preserves. Pour liquid smoke, 1 tbsp. on each side (if desired, with it the mackerel will be more aromatic, and without it - more beneficial).
2
Put the fish in the baking sleeve. Pour 1 liter of water into the thicket of the multicooker. Put the fish in the sleeve in the steam tray. Set the mode "steaming" for 20 minutes.
3
After the "steaming" program ends, drain the water from the bowl and put the fish in the sleeve to the bottom. If there is a thermal mat, you can use it. If not, put right in the bowl. Set the "baking" mode for 25 minutes. All! Our wonderful delicious fish is ready!
note
There are lovers of grate fish with lemon juice before cooking. In this case, this is not worth doing. The smell of lemon will also kill the taste of the fish itself, which is very pleasant with mackerel, and the aroma of spices. Use lemon when serving dishes. It can simply be laid out in circles or inserted between pieces of fish.
Useful advice
Hot smoked mackerel can be served with rice and vegetables. Or cool and serve with lettuce, cherry tomatoes and lemon as a cold snack on the festive table.
