Lemon Garlic Mackerel image

Mackerel is a recent discovery for me. I never knew how to cook it but I learned quickly once I discovered how cheap it is and how good it is for you! This is a really simple way to cook it.

Time 15m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 5

4 (100 g) mackerel fillets
2 garlic cloves, minced
1/2 lemon, juice of
salt
pepper

Steps:

  • Lay the fillets of fish on a baking tray, which has been covered with foil for easy clean up.
  • Sprinkle with salt and leave for 5-10 minutes. This helps give the flesh a firmer texture but you may omit this step if you prefer.
  • Meanwhile, preheat the oven grill.
  • Mix together the garlic, lemon and some freshly ground black pepper.
  • Pour over the mackerel and then put in the oven to grill for about 5 minutes.
  • If you have some fresh herbs like parsley to hand you could finely chop them and sprinkle them over the fish at this point.
  • Serve with your favourite veggies.
