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.

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.
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.
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".
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
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
@@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.
+Gabriel Cowger wake up 2hrs earlier than usual. Do your homework at the time. Your willpower diminishes at 11am going forward. Willpower at night is the worst most of the time.
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-
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
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.
+Rising Boner That's the problem. I didn't asked for ridiculous opinions. I asked for an answer to the method of cooking the fish. And did you even read your answer before replying to see how ridiculous it was?
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.
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.
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.
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)
I would say this is a nearly perfect video. The only thing that’s missing is you’re not making fun of uncle Roger add a bit of that and it would be perfect. But joking aside, I mean an inexpensive meal that’s incredibly healthy and it’s made that easily. Wow that is fantastic. .
I make my rice about the same way but without the star anis and pepper. I add a table spoon of olive oil and a pinch of saffron strands and bring to boil and simmer for 15 minutes.
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!!!!!
made the dish few times.very tasty.makes kitchen very ''smelly''. if yr wife doesnt like fish thats a problem.dont put too much salt on it since u have some in the marinate.was too much first few times :)thanks for the video!!
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.
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?
saffron wont make that cheap, but its fine to buy and use if you can afford it. It last a long time you only use a little so i guess its worth the penny.
Safflower is a lot cheaper and imparts the same colour but not the flavour. It may be fine without saffron, because you only use a pinch and it kind of just balances the mustard taste but I'm not sure.
i love mackerel so have to try this recipe looks fried but it is not should be very tasty love sauce too will do mashed eddoes/taro instead of potatoes could you do a recipe for pickerel as well please?

Thank you
Many thanks for this and much appreciated
Well done mate, thanks for that
hero
dont forget one tablespoon of camera zoom
nah i can still see what's going on, i would say add a truck of camera zoom to it
You don't need to add the saffron if you dont want to, you guys know that right?
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.
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.
The saffron ruined the whole "cheap" lol..
Use this very cheap this and that, and then add the world's most expensive spice to it. XD
saffron is not expensive. You can find it for 2 euros in any supermarket
And get like 4-5 strands from that?
no. It's more than that
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".

cheap fish but then I saw saffron. okay back to ramen
Lol thinking the same thing
Just use Safflower instead, it's a cheap alternative to Saffron
how cheap is mackerel? It is good per gram to other oily fish?
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

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

+9ssgoku You had to look it up, didn't you, that's what took you so long. You depress me.
+9ssgoku not sure cuntbag is in the "tried to English" dictionary
+9ssgoku You are worth less than the fish in the recipe, let alone the saffron. Just go to sleep.

ugh i really need to start my homework
+Gabriel Cowger wake up 2hrs earlier than usual. Do your homework at the time.
Your willpower diminishes at 11am going forward. Willpower at night is the worst most of the time.
I cook allot of fish. Great recipe. 370° or so 15-20 min. Depending on your oven and the size of the fillet.
That's hot enough to melt lead.

Agree. Not very helpful. Not worth to subscribe.
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
When talking about roasting in oven please always mention the temperature (ofcourse in Farenhiet and Celcius/centigrade)😀
How much did you set it to?
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.
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.
Roast for how long and what should the temp be set on?
+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.
LoserJ7 Deep breathes my friend. Remember where you are.
+Rising Boner
I love cooking.
And serious questions requires serious answer.
And if you don't know the answer to something, it's best to just shut up.
LoserJ7 If you honestly think my or anyone else's opinions matter on the vast anonymity of the internet, you gotta learn to loosen up.
+Rising Boner
That's the problem.
I didn't asked for ridiculous opinions. I asked for an answer to the method of cooking the fish.
And did you even read your answer before replying to see how ridiculous it was?
This would make the breakfast of kings on a crappy sleety winter day, Big mug of strong Irish breakfast tea with it.
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!:)
Dijon; a city in France. You can find "sweet" Dijon mustard, it doesn't has to be "extra-strong" all the time.
Also check Orléans mustard too if you can find it (my hometown :p)
I didn't know furion prefered less mustard, til now!
Heltflippad
Oh, I love regular mustard...
Nice: 2 questions: how long and which temperature in oven, and is it smoked paprika, or just paprika?
I believe its just paprika. Otherwise he would've mention it
How long do i bake it in the oven and what temperature?
people who watch youtube cannot afford saffron
Idiit
ateres gona ate
Lol
I can
GARRY CHILTON i love GR, but i think this recipe went a bit overboard. my idea on how to cook a mackerel is:

can someone please tell me what the hell is the 2nd ingredient after the crushed garlic at 0:03 i can't understand the name
Garlic in a pestle and mortar and paprika
My wife just made this recipe from your home cooking book and it was absolutely fabulous! Thank you!
This looks really good, all this fish dishes look great. Of all the stuff Ramsay cooks, I'd want to have a fish dinner made by him. lol
I cooked a mackerel my dad caught using this recipe.
He said «holy shit, thats good»
just substitute saffron with a tiny bit of tumeric, or safflower.
How much degrees in oven and for how long? In Fahrenheit please
The point is to elevelate cheap ingredient with expensive spice. You're not gonna use the whole jar of saffron.
the saffron in that recipe costs the same as all the rest of the ingredients put together
Honestly, i cannot believe people moaning about saffron.
When does the stock cube go in?
its your choice
what was the second one right after garlic? sounded like 'pets of immortal' but looked like some red powder and salt.
crushing garlic with a "pestle and mortar"
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
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
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.
He said motar and pessle (not sure of spelling). Is the bowl he crushes things in.
I hate this channel. ALWAYS get sooooooooo hungry when I watch the videos :)
6 years later and he’s still ur pfp?
Gordon i tried this today. It was so delicious.

"Here's how to make the most out of cheap cuts of fish" *$75 worth of saffron*
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.
Drain and lightly crush, add sliced green onion, and add the camera
I would say this is a nearly perfect video. The only thing that’s missing is you’re not making fun of uncle Roger add a bit of that and it would be perfect.
But joking aside, I mean an inexpensive meal that’s incredibly healthy and it’s made that easily. Wow that is fantastic. .
oh man, the roasted mackerel look so good. easy recipe too, shall try it out when i have the time!
I just made this with frozen mackerel I got from the asian market. very good! quick meal!
I make my rice about the same way but without the star anis and pepper. I add a table spoon of olive oil and a pinch of saffron strands and bring to boil and simmer for 15 minutes.
Lets make an inexpensive easy to make dish... by using the most expensive spice in the world ;)
that's extra. you don't have to use it
which spice?
ozatuba saffron
Stelian Stefan Yeah, that was the one thing that got me. Gordon even said it himself in one episode, didn't he?
How long at what temp would be a tad helpful do u think 🤔
I just tried the recipe with the most incredible fresh hake from the Danish north sea, yum.
I did this dish at home only I swapped the saffron for milk and the mackerel for cornflakes
Couldn’t have turned out better 😂
This is an amazing recipe and mackerel is such a forgiving fish.
That amount of saffron must be more expensive than the rest of the dish... but it sure tastes like heaven...
looks so easy.. must try! spanish mack has become my new favorite fish
0:04 garlic and what? didn't get that.....
he says crush garlic in a Pestle & Mortar.....
How long to marinate?
How long to bake the fish for and on what heat...?
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!!!!!
Me at the start of the video: Wow this looks delicious and easy prepare, i think I will make it.
Gordon: add some saffron.
Me: aight I'm out
This is 2 euro of saffron.
I’m trying this today for sure
Watching this while eating canned mackerel... fml
If there was a way to taste and enjoy such a wonderful work of Art!
how much time in the oven?
wrong season to post this video, new potatoes are best in summer. but i guess other kinds of potatoes are a good substitute
RAMSAY, YOU FORGOT TO SAY "DONE"
roast for how long?
until done
Zynmer so until you have a life.wouldn’t that burn the fish?
As long as you want
Preheat the oven to 450°F. Roast for 25 minutes, uncovered.
@@silver_vanguard6025 not everbody is born a comedian
Garlic, pepper and paprika ultimate ingredients of Ramsay cooking ;)
Can I replace the saffron with pineapple? 🤔
made the dish few times.very tasty.makes kitchen very ''smelly''. if yr wife doesnt like fish thats a problem.dont put too much salt on it since u have some in the marinate.was too much first few times :)thanks for the video!!
Thank you! Another great recipe. I have added a bit of chilli flaxes for the fish.
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
soogoonu ikr and it's also optional.
soogoonu Who buys just a pinch? that's ridiculous.
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.

saffron wont make that cheap, but its fine to buy and use if you can afford it. It last a long time you only use a little so i guess its worth the penny.
Thanks for this recipe Chef
Tried that tonight and it was delicious!!
He didn't say what temperature to cook it at, or for how long?
Looks very colorful and savory, however...
I don't add anything when I eat mackerel, but hey, you do you.
The use of saffron kind of defeats the purpose of using a cheap cut of fish. lol
It just balances out the cost (lol)
И ничего по-русски...Хотя и так все понятно,конечно.Спасибо!
WOW. What guy. Thanks for doing this.
I just got a tiny jar of saffron, well about 2 grams. Costed me 13 dollars
You got ripped off, man.
A gram of saffron should be no more than two dollars. Still very expensive, but THAT much.
request green mussels recipe in this kitchen.
Being from Alberta, Canada, the fish is so damn expensive here, or else not even available. I'd LOVE to try mackerel, especially made like that!
or just slice em in small pieces and cook it in oil :^) eat it with lemon 'cheapest way'
one of my favourite top fan.imagine i worked in gleneagles the deaf lad gordon ,from 1994,.now second chef and baker sqcf6.👍
I tried and it is so good. Thanks Gordon
jealous. lol
what should i do when i dont have access to saffron (obviously), is there some kind of alt or something
Safflower is a lot cheaper and imparts the same colour but not the flavour. It may be fine without saffron, because you only use a pinch and it kind of just balances the mustard taste but I'm not sure.
If you don't have any saffron you can use gold coins
Added to favourites... As usual
Saffron, yes, is expensive. You don't need much tho, 3 or 4 threads would be PLENTY because it is very perfumed. Too much and it tastes dirty.
roast for how long and at what temperature
Marathon Watching 2/16/23 This looks sooo good! ❤❤
Thanks Gordon!
what was that in the beginning, garlic and?
i love mackerel so have to try this recipe looks fried but it is not should be very tasty love sauce too will do mashed eddoes/taro instead of potatoes could you do a recipe for pickerel as well please?
People here moaning about the price of saffron but they'll happily pay 2.50 for coffee a few times a day that costs about 15p to make at home.
Всем спасибо большое, кто напишет по-русски. 🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗
The oven dried out the flavours of the marinade in my case, I liked the marinade when i tasted it before i put the fish in to cook
Umm... was Gordon even actually in this video?
No
Sounds great but how much garlic and paprika?
love these but sometimes i feel like i gotta move away from my screen cause the camera is zoomed in so god damn tight on these plates
Just use saffron as bait, then its already in the fish so you don't have to waste any of it in the potato salad.
Just did this and Amazing!!
mmmmm mmmmm
Are those chunks of salt salty?

just use turmeric instead
