MAPLE-SOY-GLAZED MACKEREL FILLETS WITH AVOCADO
Steps:
- Briskly simmer vinegar, soy sauce, Sherry, and maple syrup in a 9- to 10-inch heavy skillet over moderately low heat until reduced to about 1/3 cup, 20 to 25 minutes. Keep warm.
- Prepare avocado while sauce reduces:
- Quarter avocado lengthwise, then pit and peel. Cut lengthwise into 1/2-inch-thick slices, then gently toss together with lemon juice, oil, salt, and pepper in a small bowl.
- Glaze and bake fish:
- Preheat broiler. Line a large (15- by 10-inch) shallow baking pan with foil. 3Reserve about one fourth of glaze in a small bowl.
- Arrange fillets, skin sides down, in 1 layer in baking pan. Spoon about one third of remaining glaze over fillet, then spread with back of spoon to coat evenly.
- Broil fish 5 to 6 inches from heat, without turning, 2 minutes. Remove pan from broiler and coat with another layer of glaze, then broil 2 minutes more. Remove fillets from broiler and apply a third coat of glaze, then broil 1 minute more (for a total of 5 minutes). Remove from broiler and, with a clean spoon, apply reserved glaze. (Reserved glaze will not have touched uncooked fish.)
- Divide avocado salad among 4 plates, then serve fish alongside it.

MAPLE-GLAZED SALMON
Delicious maple-glazed salmon is a little on the sweet side, but not too much. The whole house smells wonderful when this is cooking; it's a great warm winter meal! I have a hard time finding good recipes my family likes with fish, since my husband is not fond of lemon. This is a perfect compromise!

MAPLE SOY GLAZE
This glaze is great on chicken or pork loin chops. I like to use boneless, skinless chicken breasts grilled on my George Foreman for an easy and quick dinner. The meat can also be seared on the stove, or grilled outside. I usually serve the meat over a bed of rice.

Tips:
- Choose Fresh Mackerel Fillets: Opt for firm and shiny mackerel fillets with a mild fishy smell. Avoid fillets that appear dull or have an off odor.
- Marinate the Mackerel: Marinating the mackerel in the maple soy glaze enhances its flavor and keeps it moist during cooking. Allow the fillets to marinate for at least 30 minutes, or up to overnight.
- Use a Hot Pan: When searing the mackerel fillets, ensure your pan is hot enough to create a nice sear. This helps lock in the flavors and prevents the fish from sticking.
- Cook the Mackerel Just Until Opaque: Mackerel cooks quickly, so be mindful not to overcook it. Cook the fillets until they are just opaque in the center, about 3-4 minutes per side.
- Serve with Fresh Avocado: The creamy and rich avocado complements the savory mackerel fillets perfectly. Serve the fillets with sliced avocado and a sprinkle of fresh herbs for an extra burst of flavor.
Conclusion:
Maple soy glazed mackerel fillets with avocado is a delicious and healthy meal that is easy to prepare. The combination of sweet maple, savory soy, and creamy avocado creates a taste sensation that is sure to impress. This dish is perfect for a quick weeknight dinner or a special occasion. So next time you're looking for a flavorful and nutritious meal, give this recipe a try!
