Ingredients

• Mackerel - 2 whole, cleaned (about 300g each)
• Olive oil - 4 tablespoons
• Fresh lemon juice - 2 tablespoons
• Garlic - 2 cloves, minced
• Fresh parsley - 2 tablespoons, chopped
• Salt - 1 teaspoon
• Black pepper - 1/2 teaspoon
• Lemon slices - 4 for garnish

Steps

1. Preheat the grill to medium-high heat.
2. In a bowl, mix the olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, chopped parsley, salt, and black pepper to create a marinade.
3. Place the cleaned mackerel in a shallow dish and pour the marinade over the fish, ensuring it is well coated. Let it marinate for about 15 minutes.
4. Once marinated, place the mackerel on the preheated grill. Cook for about 5-7 minutes on each side, or until the fish flakes easily with a fork.
5. Remove the fish from the grill and let it rest for a few minutes.
6. Serve the grilled mackerel garnished with fresh lemon slices and extra parsley if desired.
