Description

A quick and delicious recipe for broiled mackerel fillets topped with a zesty lemon butter sauce.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 mackerel fillets (about 6 ounces each)
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • 1 lemon, zested and juiced
  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped

Instructions

  1. Preheat the broiler in your oven and line a baking sheet with aluminum foil for easy cleanup.
  2. Place the mackerel fillets on the prepared baking sheet, skin side down. Drizzle with olive oil and season with salt and pepper.
  3. Broil for about 5-7 minutes, or until the fish is cooked through and the skin is crispy.
  4. While the mackerel is broiling, prepare the lemon butter sauce by melting the butter in a small saucepan over medium heat.
  5. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant.
  6. Stir in the lemon juice and zest, and cook for an additional minute. Remove from heat and stir in the chopped parsley.
  7. Once the mackerel is done, remove it from the oven and drizzle the lemon butter sauce over the fillets. Serve immediately.

Notes

  • For a spicier kick, add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the lemon butter sauce.
  • If mackerel is not available, this recipe works well with salmon or trout as alternatives.
