4 servings
40 minutes
Baked mackerel with vegetables is a simple yet exquisite dish of Russian cuisine that harmoniously combines the tender texture of fish with the juiciness of fresh vegetables. The mackerel, infused with the aromas of lemon and basil, acquires a slight tang and spicy note, while baking with sour cream makes it extraordinarily soft and rich. This dish is perfect for a family dinner or festive table due to its richness and flavor complexity. It is served with rice that absorbs all the juices and aromas, creating an ideal balance between the freshness of the vegetables and the depth of the fish's flavor. Baked mackerel with vegetables not only delights the palate but also provides health benefits by enriching the body with omega-3 fatty acids and vitamins.
