Ingredients:

2 mackerel, head and insides removed (one per person)

6 spring onions

a 1in cube fresh ginger

1 large garlic clove

1/2 tbsp olive oil

salt and black pepper

Method

RINSE the mackerel in cold water and pat dry with paper towels. Pre-heat the oven to Gas Mark 5, 180 deg C, 375 deg F.

Chop the spring onions finely, including most of the green parts. Peel the ginger and slice into thin pieces. Peel the garlic clove and cut into thin slices.

Pour a little oil into an ovenproof dish and put in the mackerel.

Fill the inside of each fish with a mixture of onion, ginger and garlic.

Sprinkle with salt and pepper and pour over the rest of the oil.

Cover with foil and bake in the hot oven for about half-an-hour, or until the fish is cooked through.

This is nice served with grilled tomatoes.
