Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Marinade

    In a bowl, mix together the soy sauce, lemon juice, minced garlic, and grated ginger until well combined.

  2. 2

    Marinate the Mackerel

    Place the mackerel fillets in a shallow dish and pour the marinade over them. Make sure the fillets are evenly coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.

Cooking

  1. 3

    Season the Fish

    Remove the mackerel from the refrigerator. Pat them dry with paper towels and season both sides with salt and black pepper.

  2. 4

    Heat the Oil

    In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat until shimmering.

  3. 5

    Cook the Mackerel

    Carefully place the seasoned mackerel fillets in the skillet. Cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until the fish is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.

Serving

  1. 6

    Garnish and Serve

    Remove the mackerel from the skillet and place them on a serving platter. Sprinkle with chopped parsley and serve with lemon wedges on the side.
