Step 4
Make 5-6 punctures in the oven bag to allow steam to escape. Place the fish in the bag into a preheated oven at 180-200°C (356-392°F) for about 25-35 minutes. Cooking time depends on the size of the mackerel. If the fish is large, feel free to leave it in the oven for 35 minutes. If you'd like a golden crust on the fish, cut open the bag and expose the fish about 10 minutes before the end of cooking.
