Marinated mackerel fillets
Mackerel is an oily fish that is rich in Omega3 oils.
What you need
- 450 g mackerel with skin left on
- 50 g butter
- 2 lemons, thinly sliced
- Marinade
- 6 tsp white wine vinegar
- juice of 1 lemon
- juice of 1 lime
- seasoning
Method
In a shallow dish, mix together the marinade ingredients. Lay the mackerel fillets in the marinade, skin side uppermost. Leave to marinate for 1-1 days.
Preheat a medium grill. Line a grill pan with foil. Place the mackerel fillets skin side down on the grill pan. Grill for 5 min, basting frequently with the leftover marinade.
Meanwhile, melt the butter in a frying pan. Add the lemon slices and gently fry for 5 min until softened. Turn the mackerel fillets skin side up and cook for a further 2 min, basting frequently. The flesh should be opaque all the way through when a fork is inserted into the thickest part.
Transfer the fillets to a warmed serving plate. Garnish with the sauteed lemon.
Serving suggestion
Serve with a seasonal green salad that has lots of texture.
