Time 45m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 4

About 11/2 pounds mackerel fillets, skin on
Salt
Lemon wedges for serving
Soy sauce for serving

Steps:

  • Slash the skin side of the fish about 1/4-inch deep, at 1-inch intervals. Put it on a rack set over a sink or bowl and sprinkle liberally with salt on both sides (you should use at least 1 teaspoon per side for each fillet). Let rest for 30 minutes.
  • Heat the broiler, with the heat source within 4 inches of the broiling rack. Put a grate or rack on a sturdy pan (lined with aluminum foil, if you like, to ease cleanup) and heat it for about 5 minutes. Rinse the fillets and pat them dry.
  • When the pan is hot, put the fillets on the rack, skin side up. Broil, carefully turning once about 3/4 of the way through cooking, until the fish is opaque and the tip of a knife flakes the thickest part easily, no more than 10 minutes. Carefully remove the fillets with a spatula and serve, skin side up, with lemon wedges and soy sauce.

Tips:

  • Score the fish before broiling. This will help the fish cook evenly and prevent it from curling up.
  • Use a flavorful marinade or sauce. A simple marinade made with soy sauce, mirin, and sake is a good option.
  • Broil the fish until it is cooked through. The fish is cooked through when it flakes easily with a fork.
  • Serve the fish immediately. Broiled mackerel is best served hot, with a side of rice or vegetables.
