Servings: 4
Ingredients
- Mackerel fillets
- 4, skin-on
- Olive oil
- 3 tablespoons
- Salt
- 1 teaspoon, or to taste
- Black pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon, freshly ground
- Lemon
- 1, cut into wedges
- Fresh parsley
- 1/4 cup, chopped
Instructions
- Preheat your grill to medium-high heat, ensuring it's clean and well-oiled to prevent sticking.
- In a small bowl, mix olive oil, salt, and black pepper. Brush this mixture generously over both sides of the mackerel fillets.
- Place the mackerel fillets on the grill, skin side down. Grill for about 7 minutes without moving them. This allows the skin to become crispy.
- Carefully flip the fillets using a spatula and cook for an additional 3-4 minutes, or until the fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.
- Once cooked, remove the mackerel from the grill and let it rest for a minute. Serve hot with lemon wedges and a sprinkle of fresh parsley for an aromatic finish.
