Mackerel with apricots
Description
The recipe won't take much time. First of all, choose a suitable fish—make sure it's whole, fresh, with shiny skin and a pleasant fishy smell. If the fish is frozen, defrost it slowly at room temperature beforehand. Remove the innards and the head. Cut along the backbone, carefully remove the small bones, and your fillet is ready!
