Grilled Mackerel with Lemon - 15-Minute Recipe

Grilled mackerel is a fragrant, rich fish cooked over coals, needing nothing more than salt, lemon, and fish seasoning. It marinates for just half an hour and grills in no more than 15 minutes if you flip it often. I recommend serving it piping hot - enjoy!

• If the fish is frozen, thaw it ahead of time and be sure to pat it dry with paper towels - it browns better that way.
• Keep the heat medium and turn the fish often: mackerel cooks very quickly.
