Grilled mackerel with zucchini

Ingredients

  • Mackerel — 1 pcs
  • Lime juice — 45 ml
  • Basil — 15 g
  • Salt
  • Garlic granulated
  • Zucchini — 50 g
  • Herbes de Provence

Method

  1. In a small bowl, mix together the lemon juice, herbs, and spices to make the marinade.
  2. Brush each mackerel fillet with the marinade, making sure to coat both sides. Place the fillets in a container or dish and cover with plastic wrap. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or overnight for best results.
  3. Preheat your grill or oven to medium-high heat.
  4. Take the sliced zucchinis and cut a slit in the center of each one. Take a basil leaf and insert it into the slit.
  5. Take each mackerel fillet and place a slice of zucchini with basil inside the slit. Repeat for all fillets.
  6. If using a grill, place the fillets directly on the grill grates and cook for 3-4 minutes per side, until the flesh is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.
  7. If using an oven, place the fillets on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and bake for 12-15 minutes, until the flesh is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.
  8. Serve the grilled or baked mackerel with the zucchini slices and enjoy!
