Bake the potatoes
Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C). Rub the potatoes with olive oil, season with sea salt, and bake for about 60 minutes, or until the skins are crisp and the centers are tender.
Prepare the filling
Slice the potatoes open and fluff the flesh with a fork. Add a spoonful of sour cream and gently mix it into the warm potato.
Add the mackerel
Top each potato with the mackerel fillets, spooning over some of the rich mustard sauce from the tin.
Scatter over the spring onions, fresh chives, black pepper, and crispy fried onions or toasted breadcrumbs for extra crunch. Serve immediately while everything is warm and creamy.
Why It Works
The buttery texture of a baked potato is the perfect canvas for premium mackerel. The mustard sauce brings acidity and depth, balancing the richness of the fish while fresh herbs keep everything bright. With almost no preparation beyond baking the potatoes, it's proof that exceptional conservas can effortlessly become the centerpiece of a wholesome meal.
