Mackerel Baked with Apples
by Mikle Piterson

What could be better for dinner than fish?  Only if the apples are
baked with fish... or vice versa!  A very juicy, aromatic and tasty
dish.


Serves: 2 People

Prepare Time: 10 mins
Cooking Time: 1 hour


Ingredients:

1 mackerel (large)
2 green apple
3 red apple (sweet)
1 onion 
1 lemon 
40 g (3 Tbsp.) butter
30 mL (2 Tbsp.) soy sauce (marinade)
3 g (1 tsp.) whole black pepper
1½ g (½ tsp.) juniper berries, dried
500 g baked potatoes (for serving) 


Preparation:

Cut fish into fillets (two halves).  Crush the pepper and juniper in a
mortar.  Grate the fish fillet with a mortar mixture (leaving a little
apple and onion mixture), and, instead of salt, sprinkle lightly with soy
sauce.  Leave on for 10-15 mins.  While the main course is preparing,
prepare the side dish.  To do this, wash small potatoes well with a
brush, wrap each in foil and bake at 200°C (400°F) for 20-25
mins.  If the potatoes are large, you can cut them in half.

Cut onions into strips, green apples into thin half-rings, a quarter of
lemon into thin slices.  Gently mix the onion, apples, and lemon, pepper
and add 15 mL (1 Tbsp.) soy marinade sauce. 

Make containers from foil, put apples, onions and lemon on the bottom,
put fish fillets with pulp on top of apples.  Put thinly sliced
butter on top of the fish.  Pour 40 mL freshly squeezed apple juice
(from sweet apples) into each container with fish.  Bake at 180°C 
(350°F) for 10-13 mins. until fish is tender.
