Method
Fish Preparation
Clean the Mackerel
Rinse the mackerel under cold water and pat dry with paper towels. Trim off any excess fins or tails.
Season the Fish
Rub salt and black pepper evenly on both sides of the mackerel. Let it sit for about 15 minutes to absorb the seasoning.
Marinade
Marinate the Fish
Place the seasoned mackerel in a shallow dish and pour the marinade over it. Ensure the fish is well-coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
Cooking
Heat the Oil
In a large skillet, heat the vegetable oil over medium heat until hot.
Cook the Mackerel
Carefully place the marinated mackerel in the skillet, skin side down. Cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side until the skin is crispy and the fish is cooked through.
Serve
Once cooked, transfer the mackerel to a serving plate. Garnish with fresh parsley and serve with lemon wedges on the side.
