SALT-BROILED MACKEREL

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.

Tips:

  • Choose fresh mackerel: Look for mackerel with bright, clear eyes, shiny skin, and firm flesh. Avoid fish that has a dull or slimy appearance.
  • Clean the mackerel thoroughly: Remove the head, tail, and fins. Then, use a sharp knife to make a shallow cut along the belly of the fish and remove the entrails. Rinse the fish inside and out with cold water.
  • Score the mackerel: Use a sharp knife to make shallow diagonal cuts on both sides of the fish. This will help the marinade penetrate the fish and cook it evenly.
  • Marinate the mackerel: Combine the ginger, garlic, soy sauce, rice vinegar, mirin, and sesame oil in a bowl. Add the mackerel and turn to coat. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
  • Broil the mackerel: Preheat your broiler to high. Place the mackerel on a lightly oiled baking sheet and broil for 8-10 minutes per side, or until the fish is cooked through. The flesh should be opaque and flake easily with a fork.
  • Serve the mackerel: Serve the mackerel immediately with steamed rice, vegetables, and a wedge of lemon. You can also garnish the fish with chopped green onions or cilantro.

Conclusion:

Broiled mackerel with ginger and garlic is a simple yet delicious dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. The mackerel is marinated in a flavorful mixture of ginger, garlic, soy sauce, rice vinegar, mirin, and sesame oil, then broiled until cooked through. The result is a succulent and flavorful fish that is sure to please everyone at the table.
