Mackerel with Herbs

Mackerel with Herbs is a delightful Greek BBQ dish that combines the rich, oily flavor of mackerel with a vibrant mix of fresh herbs and spices. Grilled to perfection, this dish is a celebration of Mediterranean flavors and healthy ingredients.

Ingredients

• Mackerel fillets - 2 (approximately 200g each)
• Olive oil - 3 tablespoons
• Lemon juice - 2 tablespoons
• Fresh parsley - 2 tablespoons, chopped
• Fresh dill - 1 tablespoon, chopped
• Fresh oregano - 1 tablespoon, chopped
• Garlic - 2 cloves, minced
• Sea salt - 1 teaspoon
• Black pepper - 1/2 teaspoon

Steps

1. In a mixing bowl, combine olive oil, lemon juice, chopped parsley, dill, oregano, minced garlic, sea salt, and black pepper to create a marinade.
2. Place the mackerel fillets in a shallow dish and pour the marinade over them, ensuring they are well coated. Cover and let marinate in the refrigerator for at least 15 minutes.
3. Preheat a BBQ grill or grill pan over medium-high heat.
4. Remove the mackerel from the marinade and place them skin-side down on the grill.
5. Grill the mackerel for about 5-7 minutes on each side, or until the fish is cooked through and easily flakes with a fork.
6. Carefully remove the mackerel from the grill and serve immediately, garnished with additional herbs if desired.
