Broiled Mackerel

I’m a huge fan of strong flavored stinky oily fish. Mackerel is one of my favorites. This Korean preparation of mackerel fillets couldn’t get any easier. Make a couple of slits on the skin side of the mackerel. Season with sea salt. Marinade for 20 minutes with the lemon and ginger juice. Broil skin side up for 4 minutes. Flip and broil for 3 minutes. Alternatively, you can grill or pan fry the mackerel as well. Cook for the same amount of time on each side as if you were broiling it.
