Ingredients

  • 2 Mackerel sliced in half and gutted
  • Juice of a lemon
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 3 cloves garlic, crushed
  • Sprigs of Rosemary
  • Sea salt & ground black pepper
  • Birds eye chillies to scatter (optional)
  • Lemon wedges to serve 

Instructions

  • Remove any stray bones with tweezers, and place the fillets in a large shallow dish.
  •  Whisk together the lemon juice, olive oil and crushed garlic with a pinch of salt and pepper. Pour the mixture over the fish and coat the mackerel fillets. Cover the dish and leave to marinate for 15-20 minutes.
  • Heat a ridged griddle pan. Cook the fish fillets in batches for 2-3 minutes on each side skin side first.
  • Take care when turning to ensure that the skin is released from the pan and does not stick.
  • Transfer the fish to a serving slate
  • Sprinkle with sprigs of rosemary and with wedges of lemon to squeeze over.
  • Serve with a cheeky bottle of Sauvignon Blanc >>>>>>>
