Mackerel Fillets in Currant “Mirror” Recipe

Ingredients:

4 mackerel fillets (skin on)
1 cup currant juice
2 tablespoons honey
1 tablespoon white wine vinegar
1 tablespoon cornstarch
Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions:

Preheat your oven to 350°F/ 180°C.
Season the mackerel fillets with salt and pepper and place them on a baking sheet, skin side down.
In a small saucepan, whisk together the currant juice, honey, white wine vinegar, cornstarch, and a pinch of salt and pepper.
Place the saucepan over medium-high heat and bring the mixture to a simmer while stirring constantly for 5-7 minutes. The mixture should thicken and turn into a shiny, smooth “mirror”.
Remove the saucepan from the heat and let it cool for a few minutes.
Using a pastry brush, coat the mackerel fillets with the currant mirror. Make sure to coat them evenly and completely.
Bake the mackerel fillets in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes or until the fish is cooked to your liking.
Remove the fillets from the oven and let them rest for 2 minutes.
Transfer the fillets to serving plates and spoon the remaining currant mirror on top of them.
Serve immediately with your choice of sides. Enjoy!

Verdict:

This recipe turns simple mackerel fillets into a fancy and delicious dish that you can serve for a dinner party or a romantic dinner for two. The currant mirror adds a flavorful and tangy touch to the fish, while also giving it a beautiful presentation. Give it a try and impress your guests!

Serving Suggestions:

Pair the mackerel fillets with a side of roasted vegetables or a simple green salad. You can also serve them with a side of mashed potatoes or a nice crusty bread to soak up the flavorful currant mirror sauce.
