Provided by Mark Bittman

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.

I think salt-broiled mackerel is an acquired taste. It's not for everyone, but I happen to love it.

I'm not a fan of salt-broiled mackerel. I find the fish to be too oily and the salt crust to be too overpowering.

This recipe was a disaster. The fish was undercooked and the salt crust was too salty. I would not recommend this recipe to anyone.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my fish turned out dry and overcooked. I think I may have left it in the oven for too long.
