• Feel free to use any combination of fresh herbs you prefer, such as parsley, dill, or basil.
• If you don't have ricotta cheese, you can substitute it with cream cheese or Greek yogurt for a similar creamy texture.
• For extra flavor, squeeze some fresh lemon juice over the cooked mackerel before serving.

Storage and Serving

• Leftover Ricotta and Herb Mackerel can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
• To reheat, place the mackerel in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 10 minutes, or until heated through.
