Step 1:
How to bake mackerel in a slow cooker? Prepare the necessary ingredients. Peel the onion from the husk and rinse in cold running water. You will need a very small piece of lemon to sprinkle the fish with its juice. Also wash the lemon and pour boiling water over it. Mackerel is usually sold frozen. Therefore, give her time to thaw herself at room temperature.
Step 2:
Clean the defrosted mackerel. To do this, cut off the fish's head and make an incision along the entire bottom of the fish. Then remove the insides and fins. Rinse the cleaned fish well in water and dry it a little with a paper towel to remove excess moisture from it.
Step 3:
Cut the mackerel into 4 pieces of approximately the same size. Pour a little lemon juice over the fish. Sprinkle a little salt and spices to taste. As a spice, you can use ready-made sets for cooking fish. In this form, leave the fish to lie down for 10 minutes.
Step 4:
While the fish is marinating a little, take care of the onion. Finely chop the peeled onion.
Step 5:
Pour a little vegetable oil into the bowl of the slow cooker and turn on the "frying" mode for 10 minutes. When the bowl heats up and becomes hot, put the chopped onion into it. Stir occasionally, fry the onion until transparent.
Step 6:
As soon as the onion is fried, turn off the "frying" mode and put the pieces of mackerel in the bowl of the slow cooker. Add some more spices and bay leaf to the bowl. You can add a few peas of allspice. Pour in the water, put the bowl in the slow cooker and close the lid.
Step 7:
Turn on the baking mode" for 20-35 minutes. During this time, the fish will have time to prepare completely. If desired, you can cook the fish on the "quot;quenching" mode, but then it will take more time - 40-60 minutes. The difference is that these modes have different cooking temperatures. Therefore, in the "quenching" mode, the fish will cook longer. Focus on the features of your slow cooker!
Step 8:
After the specified time, the slow cooker will emit a sound signal that will notify you that the dish is ready.
Step 9:
Put the finished baked mackerel on a platter and help yourself. Bon appetit!

So that the mucous membrane of the eyes is not irritated when slicing onions, rinse the onion and knife with cold water. The cutting board will not absorb the unpleasant onion smell if you rub it with a piece of lemon before slicing.

Note that the quality and taste of the finished dish largely depends on the proper defrosting of the ingredients. How to avoid mistakes and choose the best way, read the article about defrosting.

Keep in mind that the cooking time and mode in the recipe are indicated approximately. All slow cookers work differently and even the same models of the same manufacturer may have their own characteristics. Before you start cooking a new dish for you in a slow cooker, carefully study the instructions for it, and then in practice try to cook dishes that are familiar to you first, and then new ones, choosing the mode and time individually for your own technique.
