Mackerel is a delicious, inexpensive and widely available fish that is an especially good source of omega-3 fatty acids. It's most often sold whole; ask your fishmonger to fillet it or try it yourself per our instructions – it really is one of the easiest fish to fillet.
Ingredients
- 2 fresh mackerels (each about 1-1/4 lb/625 g)
- 2 tbsp (30 mL) minced green onion
- 2 tbsp (30 mL) minced fresh parsley
- 1 tsp (5 mL) smoked or sweet paprika
- 1 lemon, cut in wedges
- Extra-virgin olive oil, salt and pepper
Preparation
On cutting board, holding each mackerel by head and starting at front fin with knife, slice along backbone from head to tail, then ease knife along rib bones to cavity to make 1 fillet on each side. Discard head and bones.
In bowl, stir together onions, parsley, 4 tsp (20 mL) oil, paprika and 1/4 tsp (1 mL) each salt and pepper. Place fillets, skin side down, on greased broiler pan; spread onion mixture over fillets. Broil until fish flakes easily when tested, 4 to 6 minutes. Serve with lemon wedges.
