Roasted Mackerel with Garlic and Paprika | Gordon Ramsay

[@DavidMoore-iv4gz]

For those wondering the heat, timings and more. Great tasting dish Step 1 1. Preheat the oven to 400°F. Step 2 2. Put the garlic and paprika into a mortar, add the salt, and pound to a smooth paste. Add a few drops of olive oil, then rub the flesh side of the mackerel fillets with the paste and set aside. Step 3 3. Make the vinaigrette. Put all the ingredients into a small bowl and whisk together with a fork. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Step 4 4. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and brush lightly with olive oil. Lay the mackerel fillets skin side up on the paper and season the skin with sea salt. Roast for 8-10 minutes until the skin is crisp and the fish is cooked through. Remove from the oven and leave to rest. Step 5 5. Meanwhile, boil the potatoes in a large pan of salted water for about 15 minutes until tender, then drain. Return to the pan with 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Crush lightly with the back of a fork, then add the scallions and stir to combine. Season with salt, then add a couple of tablespoons of the vinaigrette. Step 6 6. Serve the crushed potatoes topped with the mackerel and a drizzle of the remaining vinaigrette.

Thanks for sharing

[@ahmedxh]

Thank you

[@anthonypereira5723]

Many thanks for this and much appreciated

[@darrenlavery]

Well done mate, thanks for that

[@ThePiratePaddy]

I used turmeric and a touch of chilli powder to give it some heat instead of saffron as turmeric is a member of the ginger family so can be used as great substitute

[@BlackSkullArmor]

You don't need to add the saffron if you dont want to, you guys know that right?

[@SYSRQLLQRSYS]

The point is, adding a very expensive ingredient to a dish you use inexpensive as a description, it's a bit like salt on the wound for us poor people.

[@Howwerelivingfishing]

Nowhere in the description did anyone say the dish was cheap. They said the fish was cheap. The saffron doesn’t even go on the fish. I don’t think Gordon Ramsay is the guy to go to if you wanna learn to make fish sticks and oven baked fries.

[@stopdropandroll]

dont forget one tablespoon of camera zoom

[@intersportasia9521]

nah i can still see what's going on, i would say add a truck of camera zoom to it

[@charleshoppner4111]

If anyone's curious, I got a tiny 1g thing of saffron for 5$ CAD and have made this recipe twice with just a pinch each time and I'm not even close to getting through the box and the flavor was great. Not dirt cheap or anything, but if you're going to make it a few times, it's not quite as dire as it seems getting that tiny box for five bucks.

[@DonkeyBlonkey28]

The saffron ruined the whole "cheap" lol..

[@Whiterin]

Use this very cheap this and that, and then add the world's most expensive spice to it. XD

[@Ninaki13th]

saffron is not expensive. You can find it for 2 euros in any supermarket

[@DonkeyBlonkey28]

And get like 4-5 strands from that?

[@Ninaki13th]

no. It's more than that

[@Whiterin]

Ninaki13th Saffron isn't expensive? What? Compared to the cost of black market organs or platinum maybe... It's the most expensive spice. It's expensive compared to everything else that is in it's "class".

[@kevingrunert5665]

I cook allot of fish. Great recipe. 370° or so 15-20 min. Depending on your oven and the size of the fillet.

[@moopet8036]

That's hot enough to melt lead.

[@vincegan8621]

cheap fish but then I saw saffron. okay back to ramen

[@ryandownes8196]

Lol thinking the same thing

[@theAgentify]

Just use Safflower instead, it's a cheap alternative to Saffron

[@catch.22]

how cheap is mackerel? It is good per gram to other oily fish?

[@uniquename846]

Not even sure if I even had saffron.. from the split second it was in the video, it looked like he used a lot of it too.. hell, I never even knew you could do all this stuff to food until I watched gordon ramsay

[@Geblino]

i mean... saffron is expensive-ish i'd say. It costs like 10 bucks for a container of it, but I've bought one and I'm still using that saffron almost a year later and I'm not even close to being done. You can get it on Amazon or other online stores and honestly, even if you use it for every other meal, it'll last for a while.

[@pauloamw]

cheap fish, but the most expensive spice in the world. OK!

[@pauloamw]

+9ssgoku You had to look it up, didn't you, that's what took you so long. You depress me.

[@raccoonradar]

+9ssgoku not sure cuntbag is in the "tried to English" dictionary

[@pauloamw]

+9ssgoku You are worth less than the fish in the recipe, let alone the saffron. Just go to sleep.

[@vonnmeneses3181]

+9ssgoku you must be fun at parties :)

[@SIERTWO]

LOL

[@tomojulitaiga]

You can use safflower, Carthamus tinctorius, instead of saffron... no need to panic people.

[@catch.22]

How is the taste of the Safflower in comparison? I love cooking but I'm not going to be breaking the bank on spice generally and all these western foods tend to come high on spice cost. I usually cook with lemongrass and Chinese spices so the cost in these can be pretty staggering, but my girlfriend is mixed and her palette is more western, so I want to make food closer to what she likes.

[@deathpyre42]

Well, The general idea behind this dish is that the flavors from the paprika and garlic combine with the oily flesh of the mackerel to create something earthy, slightly crispy(since the skin was salted and exposed to dry heat, the skin should have a nice texture)and very rich. So, the potatoes are slightly fruity and acidic to balance out the oily fish. But, if you're strapped for cash and working with mostly Chinese seasonings, standard dry mustard, a tiny bit of suanmeizi and some white vinegar(Because wine vinegar has a slight fruity taste, so adding a sour fruit mixed with standard vinegar is the closest thing that'll work) and some sichuan peppercorns could work. Then again, I'm just improvising here. Try experimenting with it a bit and see what happens.

[@angel2703504]

Where can one find safflower?

[@charleshoppner4111]

@@catch.22 I used white rice vinegar instead of white wine vinegar because I had it kicking around from some macau-style recipes I was doing. I can't speak to if it made a huge difference but the result did taste good.

[@paddymcmullan]

its beautiful stuffed roasted with sweet chilly sauce shallots, fennel olive oil and a little scotch bonnet , served on a bed of whole grain rice and a squeeze of lemon on the rice , screw the saffron Gordan lol

[@focusedpeyton8910]

What I love most is how he doesn't get too descriptive w/ the recipe. He doesn't tell u exact amounts of ingredients or the heat level on the stove when he's cooking-U think u can re-create the dishes but w/o all the specifics, you're sure not to imitate proficiently-

[@Rkumar9]

When talking about roasting in oven please always mention the temperature (ofcourse in Farenhiet and Celcius/centigrade)😀

[@forbster1]

How much did you set it to?

[@Howwerelivingfishing]

He didn’t mention any specifics intentionally. The idea is you scale it to your needs. Also for the most part you can cook anything at 375-400. It’s not always ideal but thats what they do in restaurants. The oven stays at one temperature and you cook everything in it except certain things that need low and slow or super high heat.

[@Howwerelivingfishing]

I usually cook my fish in a roast pan at 375, although not sure if higher temp would be better for this recipe or not.

[@Lazysquire2293]

How long do i bake it in the oven and what temperature?

[@tendingtropic7778]

Nice: 2 questions: how long and which temperature in oven, and is it smoked paprika, or just paprika?

[@anisahbintimohdfauzie2658]

I believe its just paprika. Otherwise he would've mention it

[@MikeCrawch]

Roast for how long and what should the temp be set on?

[@Miimu5210]

+LoserJ7 Roast for 36 hours and have it on medium temperature like around 500F. Great for afternoon parties if you can plan that far ahead.

[@violentinstincts]

GARRY CHILTON i love GR, but i think this recipe went a bit overboard. my idea on how to cook a mackerel is: 1. cook a mackerel 2. eat the mackerel mack is a tasty fish, it doesn't need the addition of saffron. a bit of oil, maybe some garlic and parsley, i'm ok even with teh touch of paprika, but there's no need to add an expensive spice to what is a cheap dish.

[@TheRealCueenFoodie]

When we saw fresh mackerel at the fish monger, had to grab it! This is a great recipe, and we often make the potato salad with other meals. Thank you! (PS: we don't add the saffron either; it didn't make that much of a difference in taste; the mustard kinda overpowered it)

[@poonzers93]

oh man, the roasted mackerel look so good. easy recipe too, shall try it out when i have the time!

[@shipwreckjs673]

How long to bake the fish for and on what heat...?

[@cynthialuttrell4049]

I live in Washington state and found that Mackerel is in abundance here, however it's not desired by many fisherman. I seen this video not too long ego and decided to share it with Washington State Women Anglers with a challenge to share their Mackerel recipes. Mackerel doesn't get the recognition for which it deserves. At least I'm willing to take all the Mackerel fish home from my fishing adventures in the North West Pacific region.

[@ricardopperez]

how much time in the oven?

[@britters220]

just substitute saffron with a tiny bit of tumeric, or safflower.

"Here's how to make the most out of cheap cuts of fish" *$75 worth of saffron*

[@joshuahudgin191]

Literally not $75 worth of saffron there. I bought an $8 jar of saffron and it’s lasted me 2 years. You use it sparingly.

[@camperpro482]

The point is to elevelate cheap ingredient with expensive spice. You're not gonna use the whole jar of saffron.

I've noticed he uses a lot of djon (?) mustard for dressings. I personally find the flavor a bit too strong for me :X

You can always adjust it to your liking, that's cooking!:)

[@Keukeu45]

Dijon; a city in France. You can find "sweet" Dijon mustard, it doesn't has to be "extra-strong" all the time.

[@Keukeu45]

Also check Orléans mustard too if you can find it (my hometown :p)

crushing garlic with a "pestle and mortar"

[@time4everything9]

Garlic and pesto in a mortar, along with paprika, sea salt and olive oil. He previously added the pesto wich is a green paste you can make

[@Le_Petomane]

What are you talking about my dude?! There is no pesto, he said " pestle and mortar" Which is what you crush shit up in....ha pesto

[@charleshoppner4111]

There's no pesto - it's just using a pestle and mortar. You can look up the written recipe on google and find it with the measurements etc. - that's how I did it but I used the video to make sure it looked the same at the steps.

[@marygrabill7127]

Mackerel are so unique because it has a different taste from most fish. Other fish are plain but mackerel omg WAW!! Give me the belly and collarbone. If you fry it to the point where it's crispy give me the whole head too!!!!!

Saffron. The most expensive spice out there in the market, and Gordon is calling this a "cheap dish". I mean, c'mon, give me a break.

you're a joke - it's expensive if you put in a pound - you need just a pinch to season, for a 10 cents worth

[@alexsilkwood]

soogoonu ikr and it's also optional.

[@bwarrior83]

soogoonu Who buys just a pinch? that's ridiculous.

[@soogoonu]

bwarrior83 the Ramsey's dish just need a pinch, ok? we're talking about how expensive is and anyhow, I don't know your but in my country you can find several packages, even sized for a couple of pinches for the equivalent of about a dollar.

[@bwarrior83]

Still, he has said in many videos that the Saffron is the most expensive spice, everytime he uses it, like a warning. And yet, he uses it to make a "cheap" dish. If it is that cheap, then why bother to say it's the most expensive?
