Main Ingredients- 2 pieces cleaned mackerel fillet (approx. 200g)
- 1 onion
- 1/2 bell pepper
- 3-5 cherry tomatoes
Mackerel Seasoning- 2 tsp salt
- 2 tsp black pepper
- 1 Tbsp butter
Curry Sauce- 50g liquid curry paste (store-bought)
- 2 tsp salt
- 2 tsp black pepper
- 1 Tbsp butter
Curry Sauce- 50g liquid curry paste (store-bought)
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
Sprinkle the cleaned mackerel fillets evenly with salt and black pepper. This seasoning will help remove any fishy odor and enhance the overall flavor.
Step 2
Line the bottom of your air fryer basket with 2-3 layers of parchment paper. This makes cleanup a breeze and helps prevent the fish from burning.
Step 3
Spread the thinly sliced onion evenly over the parchment paper. Place the seasoned mackerel fillets on top of the onions, then add the butter, cut into pieces, over the fish. The melting butter will add moisture and a rich, savory taste.
Step 4
Feel free to use any leftover vegetables you have! Slice the bell pepper (after removing the seeds) and add it along with the cherry tomatoes for a burst of color and flavor. (Other vegetables like zucchini or mushrooms can also be added according to your preference.)
Step 5
Pour the liquid curry paste over all the ingredients, ensuring everything is well-coated. This allows the curry flavor to deeply penetrate the fish and vegetables.
Step 6
Set your air fryer to 180°C (350°F) and cook for 20 minutes. You can check the fish halfway through if you like. It should be nicely browned and deliciously aromatic.
Step 7
Once cooked, carefully remove the Curried Mackerel from the air fryer. Serve it elegantly by gathering the parchment paper – your impressive dish is ready! Enjoy it while it’s warm.
