Directions
Prepare the mackerel: Preheat your oven to 200°C (390°F). Rinse the mackerel under cold water and pat dry with paper towels. Make shallow diagonal cuts on each side of the fish to help the marinade penetrate.
Prepare the spicy marinade: In a bowl, mix the harissa paste, olive oil, lemon juice, chopped garlic, cumin, smoked paprika, ground coriander, cayenne pepper, salt and pepper. Stir until evenly combined. Rub the marinade all over the mackerel, thoroughly coating the cavities and cuts. Marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to let the flavours develop.
Bake: Place the marinated mackerel on a parchment-lined baking sheet or in an ovenproof dish. Bake for 20–25 minutes, until the flesh is cooked and the skin is crisp and lightly caramelized.
Serve: Remove the mackerel from the oven and let rest for a few minutes. Garnish with fresh cilantro and serve with lemon wedges for a fresh touch.
