Delicious boiled mackerel in the microwave will be ready in 10 minutes! If desired, you can add onions and carrots.
Mackerel can be cooked in the microwave in literally 10 minutes - this sea fish is quite unpretentious! I know recipes for preparing it in 3 minutes, but since the microwave first heats the liquid, it is best to increase the time to 10 minutes. It is relevant for chopped carcass, not a whole one! A whole cleaned fish carcass should be cooked for at least 15-20 minutes, completely immersed in liquid. By the way, you don’t have to throw out the broth after cooking - it’s rich and aromatic, and you can use it to create a delicious fish soup.
Add your favorite spices and seasonings for a flavorful and delicious dish. If desired, it is permissible to add finely chopped carrots and onions, previously peeled and washed. Thoroughly clean the carcass of the black film inside, which is bitter, and be sure to remove the blood that has accumulated inside on the spine so that cloudy foam does not form in the container during cooking.
So, let's prepare the necessary ingredients and start cooking!
