Finely chop the garlic and chili and mix with the butter, herbs and lemon juice. Spread on the fish fillets and put the other fillets on top. Fold the foil around the fish to make parcels and bake in a preheated oven [200°C/400°F] for about 25 minutes.

I was trying to find a simple recipe to cook some fresh mackerel my neighbour had caught this morning, as I had absolutely no idea, and this recipe is perfect! Thank you!

So glad you found ours and had success. Mackerel is so delicious when it's fresh and we think it needs the simplest of preparations to bring out the best flavor.
