Preheat the oven to 180°C/350°F/Gas 4. Cut 3 slashes in both sides of the mackerel. Stuff the inside with the lemon and season inside and out. Place in a small baking tray and pour over the lemon juice. Arrange the tomatoes around the fish and drizzle with olive oil. Bake for 15 minutes, or until the fish flesh comes away from the bone easily. Gently heat the olive oil in a small pan, add the garlic and gently cook. Add the diced tomatoes and coriander and warm through. Serve the fish with the sauce spooned over and tomatoes alongside.
