1
Prepare the Marinade
In a medium bowl, mix olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, chopped parsley, salt, and black pepper. Whisk until well combined.
2
Marinate the Mackerel
Place the mackerel fillets in a shallow dish and pour the marinade over them, ensuring they are well coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.

3
Preheat the Grill
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (about 375°F or 190°C).
4
Grill the Mackerel
Remove the mackerel from the marinade, allowing excess marinade to drip off. Place the fillets skin-side down on the grill. Grill for 4-5 minutes on each side, or until the fish flakes easily with a fork and has nice grill marks.

5
Plate and Garnish
Carefully transfer the grilled mackerel to a serving platter. Garnish with lemon slices and whole parsley leaves before serving.
