Baked mackerel garnished with fresh pepper and green onion
This is my simple mackerel recipe, it’s so easy and tastes as sinful as the fried version
Ingredients:
- 2 whole fresh mackerel ( gutted and cleaned)
- 1 teaspoon salt
- I cube maggi
- 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
- I table spoon olive oil
- I teaspoon pepper powder
Directions:
- Pat dry the mackerel and make several incisions along both sides
- Gently rub in the salt and set aside for 2-4 hours
- Combine the left over ingredients in a small bowl
- Preheat your oven to 375°C
- Thoroughly brush the salted mackerel with the olive oil mixture
- Place the fish on a foil paper lined oven tray. Roast in the oven for 35 – 40 minutes or until crispy
Enjoy with cold garri :)

This looks very mouthwatering. Kudos to u for the great job ure doing. Before grilling the mackerel can I cook it for a few mins or do I go right ahead and put it in the oven?
Simply place it in the oven, there is no need to cook it prior
You are doing a great job and i must confess that your blog is very inspiring. Please what is Salmon fish in Nigeria?
thank you for the kind words. Salmon is simply called salmon, it’s most sold frozen in big supermarkets.
What is pepper powder?
ground pepper
look good
You are saving many Iives,homes and marriages with this blog.I find the recipes so helpful,just imagining the help to new wives- been married for close to twenty!Thanks on their behalf.God bless!
Thank you for taking out the time. we appreciate it.
This looks very interesting and I will definitely want to try it out. However, the part about rubbing salt bothers me. Any high dosage of salt is a no no for me. Do you have any suggestions on that?
By the way, your blog is great!
Heiii… feel free to skip the salt.
I would really love to know how to cook varieties, not working for now, so looking for what I can get busy with, cooking is one thing I do without getting tired of. Don’t know if u train or there is a school for it, 9ja foodie.

This is my first time to drop a comment. I have tried a couple of your recipes. I did the tilapia fish pepper soup yesterday, but I used plantain instead. It tasted divine. Your blog is very eye opening. Thanks and keep up the good work
Odeiga House has a superb marinade for all manner of white meat. It is an excellent marinade for salmon. The Marriott group is one of its big clients.
