Marinated Mackerel
- 1 1/4 pounds mackerel fillets, cut into 6 pieces
- Salt and freshly ground white pepper
- 1 bottle dry white wine
- 1/2 cup white wine vinegar

- 2 thyme sprigs

- Season the mackerel with salt and white pepper and arrange the pieces in a 9-by-13-inch glass or ceramic baking dish, skin side down.
- In a large saucepan, combine all of the remaining marinade ingredients with 1 1/2 tablespoons of salt and bring to a boil.
- Reduce the heat to moderately low and simmer until the vegetables are just tender, about 20 minutes.
- Immediately pour the marinade over the mackerel, spreading the vegetables in an even layer.
- Cover tightly with plastic wrap and let cool to room temperature, then refrigerate overnight.
- Transfer the mackerel fillets to plates, skin side up.
