If you want a really special and easy to make recipe, you've come to the right place. Here's how to make the perfect snake mackerel, also known as butterfish! 

Ingredients for 4 people:

Preparing the snake mackerel:

  • Place 4 cloves of garlic, peeled, in a small baking pan, drizzle with a little olive oil, sprinkle with salt and bake in a preheated oven at 140-150°C for 20-25 minutes until golden brown. When cool, bake in the oven garlic through a filter. Mix the sour cream with a little water, add salt and stir in the roasted garlic pulp. Pour into a siphon, enrich with two cartridges and refrigerate until serving. 
  • Brush the surface of the snake crusts with a little olive oil, add salt and start frying in a hot pan. Fry for about 4-4 minutes per side. When you turn them from side to side, add crushed garlic, cold butter, rosemary and a little more olive oil. When the butter has a nice golden brown colour, squeeze the juice of 1 lemon over it and rotisserie (baste) the fish. 
  • As a garnish, we can offer a delicious honey and mustard buckwheat salad, which can be eaten hot or cold. Use this garnish as a bedding for the finished butterfish steaks, squeeze some of the sour cream around the fish. To garnish, garnish the plate with green oil and roasted cocktail tomatoes. 

Enjoy your meal!
