Clean the mackerel, cut it into large pieces, and salt it lightly.
Cook the onion in the pot for 4 minutes.
Add the tomatoes and bay leaf, then cook for 5 minutes.
Place the fish over the sauce and do not stir, so the flesh does not break apart.
Cover the pot and steam for 14 minutes.
Rest the mackerel for 3 minutes so the fish stays together during serving.
💡 Tip: Placing the fish on top of the tomatoes helps it stay intact on the plate.
🍽️ Serving suggestion: Serve the steamed fish hot with bread and a lemon wedge on the side.
