Step 1:
How to make mackerel baked in foil in the oven with lemon? Prepare the products. My fish is not gutted, I took special spices "for fish".
Step 2:
The first step is to gut the mackerel. To do this, cut it along the abdomen from the head to the tail and remove the insides. It is also better to remove the black film that covers the abdomen inside. I'm going to bake fish with my head. If you want, you can cut it off.
Step 3:
A deep baking tray is well suited for baking mackerel in the oven. It should be lined with foil. Lubricate the foil with vegetable oil.
Step 4:
Put our fish. Add salt and season on both sides and inside the abdomen.
Step 5:
Cut the lemon into large circles and place the fish on top.
Step 6:
Cover with the second piece of foil and wrap the ends inside so that the bottom foil is well twisted. Then nothing will leak out of you. Place the fish pan in a preheated 200 degree oven. Bake for 20 minutes.
Step 7:
After 20 minutes, remove the baking sheet and carefully remove the top layer of foil. Caution! There's hot steam inside! Don't get burned! Leave the already opened fish in the oven for another ten minutes so that it browns. I turned on the convection mode. Remove the finished fish and serve, slightly cooled.

When buying mackerel, pay attention to the quality of the fish, it should have a uniform skin of silver color, the smell is fresh fishy, without a shower. The eyes are clean, not cloudy. If you bought frozen fish, then defrost it gradually, preferably in the refrigerator, in no case in water, the fish will lose its useful and taste qualities.
I baked two fish in one piece of foil at once, you can wrap each fish individually in your piece, it will be more convenient to serve portions.
Despite the fact that I oiled the foil, the fish stuck a little, I advise you to put lemon slices down first, and then carcasses on them.
When baking, you can also add tomato slices and onion rings, it will be juicier and tastier.
Decorate the finished fish with herbs. Potatoes and fresh vegetables are good as a side dish.
