Mackerel recipe - How to grill salted mackerel - サバのしおやき

mackerel

🥗Healthier: sardines

💰Cheaper: herring

Sardines and herring are often less expensive and still provide similar flavors.

Clean the mackerel and pat dry with paper towels.

Sprinkle salt generously on both sides of the mackerel.

Let the salted mackerel rest for 15-30 minutes to absorb the salt.

Preheat the grill to medium-high heat.

Place the mackerel skin-side down on the grill.

Grill the mackerel for 4-5 minutes until the skin is crispy and golden.

Flip the mackerel and grill for another 3-4 minutes until cooked through.

Remove the mackerel from the grill and let it rest for a minute.

Serve the grilled mackerel with lemon wedges and chopped green onions on top.

Drizzle with soy sauce if desired.

Pair with steamed rice for a complete meal.
