This recipe, made by gently simmering horse mackerel in its own juices with tomatoes, onion, and olive oil over low heat, is a lighter coastal fish presentation compared to frying. With its economical nature, it's one of the practical everyday options.

Step by Step

How to make it?

1

Prepare the base

5 min

Drizzle olive oil over the bottom of the pan and spread half the onion rings.

2

Arrange the fish

10 min

Arrange the cleaned horse mackerel over the onions and season with salt and black pepper, then top with tomato slices and the remaining onion.

3

Steam over low heat

20 min

Cover and cook over low heat in its own juices until the fish and vegetables are tender.

4

Serve

2 min

Garnish with chopped parsley and serve hot.

Reminder

Important: Don't stir the poached dish roughly, as red mullet flesh can easily fall apart. Allergen: contains fish only. Caution: don't open and close the pot lid too often — if steam escapes, the fish won't soften enough in its own liquid.

Editor's Note Editörün Notu

If you peel the tomatoes before adding them, the sauce's texture becomes smoother. Arranging the horse mackerel in a single row on the bottom of the fish pan ensures even cooking.
