Baked mackerel (opens in new tab) with fennel (opens in new tab) and cannellini beans is an easy and elegant all-in-one supper. Mackerel is a great source of heart-healthy Omega 3 fatty acids, as well as being a good source of vitamin D. This nutritious fish (opens in new tab) has also been recommended by the Marine Society as a fish we should all be eating more of, as it is a more sustainable choice than popular white fish, and supports the British fishing industry. We’ve used cannellini beans to add extra protein to this baked mackerel dish, and make it a substantial meal without being too carb-heavy. The dressing has a lovely kick of horseradish, which complements the oily fish really well, and the fresh flavour of fennel makes this one tray fish roast something a bit different.

- 1 bulb fennel, sliced into wedges
- 1 red onion, sliced into wedges
