How to Make Steamed Mackerel (Uskumru Buğulama)
In a pan, sauté 1 julienned onion, 5 diced long green peppers, and 1 diced red bell pepper in half a tea glass (about 50 ml / 3 tbsp + 1 tsp) of vegetable oil. Add 3 peeled and diced tomatoes and bring to a brief boil. Stir in 1 handful of chopped parsley, half a dessert spoon of salt, and half a teaspoon of black pepper, then remove from heat.
Spread a little of the prepared mixture on the bottom of a round baking dish. Place 8 cleaned and washed mackerel on top. Spread the remaining mixture over the fish. Drizzle with the juice of half a lemon and 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil. Sprinkle 1 dessert spoon of oregano over the top. Add 1 tea glass (about 100 ml / 1/3 cup + 1 tbsp) of water. Bake in a preheated oven at 200°C (390°F) for 20–25 minutes, until the fish is golden and cooked through.
