A superb grilled Spanish mackerel, cooked slowly over low heat while basting with oil for a crispy exterior and moist interior, served with a lemon soy sauce.

Ingredients needed 2 servings

Recipe

Cooking tips

  • Starting the Spanish mackerel in a cold or cool pan prevents the skin from suddenly shrinking or burning on the surface.
  • Instead of flipping and cooking the flesh side intensely, use the arrosage technique—continuously basting with oil using a spoon—to keep moisture and juices from escaping.
  • The Spanish mackerel oil left in the pan after cooking is full of flavor, so drizzling a little over the finished fish enhances the taste.

Recommended for

  • Those who want to grill fish at home with a crispy outside and moist inside, without any fishy smell.
  • Those who want to create an elegant grilled fish dish by adding a refreshing sauce.
