Grilled Mackerel - A Step By Step Recipe With A Photo

I don't really like fish, but today I came across fresh mackerel on the counter and immediately began to sort out recipes in my head on how to cook grilled mackerel. I am sharing one of them. The fish came out super.

Cooking description:

Grilled mackerel goes well with any side dish: rice, boiled potatoes, buckwheat or vegetables. I boiled round rice, stewed carrots and onions in a tomato. The lunch was delicious. The husband was satisfied. Girls, I recommend!

How to cook "Grilled Mackerel"

1 First of all, clean the fish, remove the intestines, gills, rinse it under running water and wipe off excess moisture with paper towels. 2 Rub the fillet inside with olive oil, salt and pepper to taste. Place half of the chopped thyme and parsley inside and spread out the lemon slices. 3 Brush the top half of the fish with olive oil, season with salt and pepper and place the seasoned side on the preheated wire rack. 4 Cook the mackerel over medium heat for 5-8 minutes until golden brown. Before turning the fish to the other side, grease it with oil and sprinkle it with salt and pepper. Gently flip the fish over to avoid losing the filling and keeping the skin intact. 5 Cook the fish for another 5 minutes until tender. When it's crispy, the fish is ready.
