Lemon Garlic Mackerel Recipes

Steps:

• Combine oil, lemon juice, garlic, onion powder, pepper, and salt in a large, gallon-sized, zip-top bag. Seal and shake well. Add chicken and shake again. Place in the refrigerator to marinate for at least 2 hours.
• Preheat an outdoor grill for medium heat and lightly oil the grate.
• Place the chicken on the grill over indirect heat, baste with marinade, and cover. Grill for 10 minutes. Baste again, then turn over and baste the other side. Cover and continue to grill until no longer pink in the centers and juices run clear, about 10 minutes more.

Steps:

• In a bowl, combine the lemon juice, lemongrass, garlic, ginger, jalapeno, onion, cilantro and coconut milk. Mix well and season with salt and pepper. This mix can be made ahead of time and brought in a resealable plastic bag. Season the mackerel with salt and pepper. Place the mackerel into the marinade and marinate for 15 minutes. Remove the fish from the marinade and place on the grill, skin side up. Grill for 4 minutes per side, basting often with the marinade.

Steps:

• 1. Preheat the oven to 400°F.
• 2. Put the garlic and paprika into a mortar, add the salt, and pound to a smooth paste. Add a few drops of olive oil, then rub the flesh side of the mackerel fillets with the paste and set aside.
• 3. Make the vinaigrette. Put all the ingredients into a small bowl and whisk together with a fork. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
• 4. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and brush lightly with olive oil. Lay the mackerel fillets skin side up on the paper and season the skin with sea salt. Roast for 8-10 minutes until the skin is crisp and the fish is cooked through. Remove from the oven and leave to rest.
• 5. Meanwhile, boil the potatoes in a large pan of salted water for about 15 minutes until tender, then drain. Return to the pan with 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Crush lightly with the back of a fork, then add the scallions and stir to combine. Season with salt, then add a couple of tablespoons of the vinaigrette.
• 6. Serve the crushed potatoes topped with the mackerel and a drizzle of the remaining vinaigrette.

Steps:

• Place the garlic in a small saucepan with the olive oil and bring to a boil. Lower the heat and simmer for 10 minutes.
• With a vegetable peeler, cut large strips of zest from each lemon and add it to the garlic oil.
• Add the red pepper flakes and salt and allow the oil to sit at room temperature until the flavors are infused. Store the oil in the refrigerator.

Steps:

• Ensure you have a large frying pan over a medium-high heat. Heat the oil in a large frying pan. Season the fish fillets with salt and pepper and score the skin a couple of times. Add to the pan skin-side down and fry for 1 to 2 minutes until golden and crisp. Once you have placed the mackerel into the pan add the butter, garlic and parsley to the pan. Turn the fish, tossing the garlic. Carefully turn the fish over, and cook for another 30 seconds, transfer to a plate and keep warm.
• Tip in the butter beans, spinach and lemon zest. Add the stock and cook for a minute to wilt the spinach. Season well. Chop the parsley and set aside.
• Serve the spinach and butter beans in the base of a shallow bowl and top with the crispy mackerel fillets along with the parsley and a squeeze of lemon juice.

Steps:

• In a 12-inch skillet with a cover, mix together all ingredients except fish, rice and scallions. Add 1/2 cup water. Bring to a boil and simmer over medium heat for about 5 minutes, uncovered.
• Add fish skin-side down and simmer until cooked through, 7 to 10 minutes. (You can hasten cooking a bit by covering pan, but it is not necessary.) Spoon a fillet and some sauce onto a mound of white rice; garnish and serve.

Steps:

• Whisk together zest, lemon juice, and salt and pepper to taste, then add olive oil in a stream, whisking until combined well. Whisk in olives and chopped oregano.
• Make 1-inch-long slits at 2-inch intervals down middle of fish on both sides with a sharp paring knife, then brush fish all over with vegetable oil and season with salt and pepper. Season fish cavity with salt and pepper, then evenly distribute 3 lemon rounds and 3 oregano sprigs in cavity. Close cavity, then evenly arrange remaining 3 lemon rounds and 3 oregano sprigs on top of fish and tie fish closed with string at 2-inch intervals, securing lemon slices and oregano sprigs to fish.
• Prepare grill for cooking. If using a charcoal grill, open vents on bottom of grill, then light charcoal. Charcoal fire is medium-hot when you can hold your hand 5 inches above rack for 3 to 4 seconds. If using a gas grill, preheat burners on high, covered, 10 minutes, then reduce heat to moderate.
• Grill fish on lightly oiled grill rack, covered only if using gas grill, 15 minutes. Turn fish over using a metal spatula and tongs, then grill until just cooked through, about 15 minutes more.
• Transfer fish to a large platter using 2 metal spatulas, then cut and discard string. Serve fish with sauce.
