Step 1
Prepare all the necessary ingredients. Thaw the mackerel in advance. Cut off the head, split along the backbone and open it like a book, removing the innards. Rinse thoroughly.

Step 3
Mix the sour cream with the mustard. I deliberately specified approximate amounts of both sour cream and mustard, as this is entirely a matter of personal taste. I like equal amounts of mustard and sour cream, but if you prefer less mustard or none at all, that's fine too—mackerel with sour cream in the oven is delicious!

Step 5
You can bake mackerel either in foil or in a baking sleeve. Today I'll use a baking sleeve. Tie one end of the sleeve, and place sliced onions inside.

Step 6
Place the mackerel on top of the onion. Tie the other end of the oven bag. Bake the mackerel in the oven at 200 degrees Celsius for 30-40 minutes. The exact time depends on your oven. Ten minutes before it's done, cut open the bag so the fish can brown on top.
