Method

Preparation of Marinade

  1. 1

    Make the Marinade

    In a medium bowl, combine the olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, chopped parsley, salt, and black pepper. Whisk until well blended.

Marinating the Fish

  1. 2

    Marinate the Mackerel

    Place the mackerel fillets in a shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the fish, ensuring all fillets are coated. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.

Cooking the Fish

  1. 3

    Cook the Mackerel

    Preheat the grill or a skillet over medium-high heat. Remove the mackerel from the marinade and place it on the grill or skillet. Cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until the fish is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.

Serving the Dish

  1. 4

    Plate the Fish

    Once cooked, transfer the mackerel to a serving platter. Garnish with lemon wedges and parsley sprigs before serving.
