Steps:
- Sprinkle fillets with salt and pepper and set aside.
- Cut onions in half lengthwise. Place each half cut side down on a flat surface and cut onions into very thin slices. There should be about 3 cups.
- Heat one tablespoon of the oil and one tablespoon of the butter in a saucepan. Add onions and cook, stirring fairly often, about 10 minutes or until golden brown. Sprinkle with salt and pepper.
- Add wine and cloves and cover closely. Bring to the boil and let cook over low heat about 20 minutes.
- Meanwhile, put the milk in a flat dish and add salt and pepper. Put the fillets in the milk and turn. Let stand until ready to use.
- Sprinkle the flour on a flat surface. Lift the fillets from the milk, one at a time, and shake off excess milk. Do not pat dry. Dip the fillets in the flour to coat well on both sides. Shake off excess.
- Heat the remaining 1/4 cup of oil in a skillet large enough to hold the fillets in one layer and when it is quite hot add the fillets, skin side up. Cook on one side over moderately high heat 3 minutes. Turn the pieces and cook on the other side about 3 minutes. Tilt the pan and baste the fillets occasionally as they cook.
- Arrange the fillets on a serving dish and spoon an equal portion of the onion mixture over each fillet.
- Heat the remaining 3 tablespoons butter in a skillet and cook, shaking the skillet vigorously around and around until the butter starts to brown and takes on a hazelnut color.
- Add the vinegar and pour the mixture over the onion-topped mackerel. Sprinkle with parsley and capers and serve immediately.

Tips:
- Choose fresh, firm mackerel fillets for the best results. - Use a sharp knife to score the skin of the mackerel before broiling. This will help the fish cook more evenly and prevent it from curling up. - Broil the mackerel on a well-oiled baking sheet or grill pan. This will help prevent the fish from sticking and ensure that it cooks evenly. - Cook the mackerel until it is just cooked through. The flesh should be opaque and flaky, but still moist. - Serve the mackerel immediately with onion and pickle butter. The butter can be made ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator.Conclusion:
Broiled mackerel with onion and pickle butter is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. The mackerel is cooked quickly and easily, and the onion and pickle butter adds a delicious savory and sweet flavor. This dish is sure to please everyone at the table.
