Baked Mackerel with Roasted Peppers

Mackerel is rich in essential oils, vitamins and minerals.  It is one of the most highly recommended oily fish for a healthy diet and it tastes sooooo good!  :)

Baked Mackerel with Roasted Peppers
Ingredients

3 large capsicum (peppers) - any colour (I had one yellow, one green and one orange in the fridge)
2 large red onions
Olive oil
Salt
Pepper
Balsamic Vinegar
Mackerel (whole or fillets) - one (or two small) per person.


Preheat the oven to 200 degrees C.

Slice the peppers into thin strips.  Peel and slice the onions.  Combine together in a bowl, drizzle a little oil over them and add seasoning to taste.  Mix well, then spread onto a baking tray and bake in the oven for approx. 15-20 mins.  Stir half-way through baking.

Meanwhile, season the mackerel.

When peppers and onions are done, remove from the tray and set aside.  Turn the oven down to 180 degrees C.

Place the mackerel on the same tray and bake in oven for approx. 15 mins (for whole fish).  Turn half way through cooking.  (For fillets, bake for approx. 5 mins or so - there is no need for turning).

When fish is done.  Remove from the tray.

Return the peppers to the tray, place the mackerel on top.  Drizzle with a little oil and vinegar, to taste.  Place back in the oven for approx. 5 minutes.

Serve on warmed plates.

Enjoy!
