Baked Mackerel with Harissa and Preserved Lemons

🔥 Method

  1. Preheat oven to 200°C (400°F).
  2. Score the mackerel skin lightly to help absorb flavor.
  3. Mix harissa, garlic, and olive oil into a paste. Rub generously over the fish.
  4. Stuff or top with preserved lemon slices, tucking them into the cuts or cavity.
  5. Place on a baking tray lined with parchment. Bake for 20–25 minutes until skin is crisp and flesh flakes easily.
  6. Garnish with herbs and serve with couscous, roasted veggies, or a fresh salad.
