Best Mackerel in Tomato Sauce

Mackerel is very popular with hostesses. Fish is baked in an oven with vegetables and lemon, marinated in a can with beet. Delicious snack rolls with smoked brisket and fish soups are also prepared from it. Today I suggest preparing a new recipe - stewed mackerel in tomato sauce. The fish is very gentle, soft and fragrant. The unique taste of mackerel in this recipe is given by a sauce prepared on the basis of a mixture of browned vegetables and sour-sweet tomato paste seasoned with spices. Mackerel hasn’t got many bones and it’s quite oily fish, so even fussy eaters will be satisfied.
