This recipe uses Mackerel which was traditionally a plentiful catch of the coasts of Scotland. A simple and healthy fish dish.

Baked mackerel Recipe

Ingredients
4 Medium sized Mackerel
1/2 Lemon
1 oz Butter PLUS another 2 oz which will be melted
1 small finely chopped onion
2 Tablespoons chopped chives
8 oz Fresh breadcrumbs
Salt and pepper to season
1 Small Egg (beaten)
3 tablespoons of flour

Method

Preheat the oven to 375F or gas mark 5. Cut/ Slit the Mackerel from head to tail and gut if requried removing the backbone (your fishmonger may have either done this or will do it for you). Rub the fish over with the lemon and salt. Melt 1 oz of butter in a pan and fry the onions until they are on the turn to brown (do NOT completely brown them) allowing to cool. In a seperate bowl, mix the breadcrumbs, fried onions and chives, seasoning as requried and bind the mixture with the egg. This is the mixture which will be used to stuff the fish

Melt the other 2 oz of butter, then roll some mixture into the centre of the fish, then roll the Mackerel first in the flour then in the melted butter.
Place the fish into an oven proof dish and bake for 25 to 30 minutes, basting with the butter if required.
This recipe should serve 4 people.

1 Stick butter

1 c Bread crumbs, very fine

1 c Sugar, or more if apples are

-tart 1 ts Cinnamon

1 Lemon rind (grandma does NOT

-use this) 1/2 Stick butter, melted

Source: Treasured Slovenian & International Recipes *DIRECTIONS* Melt stick of butter and lightly brown the bread crumbs. Set aside to cool. Sprinkle the cooled bread crumbs over the stretched dough. Spread the sliced apples evenly over the dough and sprinkle sugar, cinnamon and lemon rind over the apples. Melt the 1/2 stick of butter and when it has cooled spoon over the apples. Roll up dough. Place in well greased pan and bake in 350 F oven for one hour. notes: Be careful not to puncture the dough when transferring to the pan, otherwise the strudel will stick to the pan. *VARIATIONS* Instead of lemon rind Grandma uses lemon juice. Grandma also waits until the dough is ready to slice the apples, that way they don't turn brown. She also uses the slicer on the side of a grater to slice the apples really thin.
