Preparation of Korean-style mackerel:
Clean the mackerel from the insides, remove the head, tail and fins. Divide each fish into two parts, put in a deep container.
Sprinkle the fish on both sides with salt and ground black pepper. Squeeze the juice from the lemon, pour the fish similarly on both sides.
Leave the mackerel under the food film for 15-20 minutes to marinate.
In the meantime, cut onions into thin feathers, bring to softness in a pan with vegetable oil.
Put the onions on a baking tray, form a pillow
.
Put fish pieces on the onion pillow.
Pour dried ginger into a bowl, press garlic cloves through a press. Add chili flakes, sugar, apple cider vinegar, soy sauce and beer to taste, stir.
Pour the beer mixture into the fish, cover with parchment and send to the oven at 180 degrees for 25-30 minutes.
Cut the potatoes in two, place them cut-side up in a frying pan.
Roast the potatoes for 10 minutes under a lid, then turn them cut-side down and continue roasting for 5 minutes. Don’t forget to sprinkle the potatoes with spices and salt.
Without parchment cook the fish in the oven for 10-15 minutes.
If desired, sprinkle the potatoes with parmesan and cook for 5 minutes on low heat.
