This recipe works because it focuses on bringing out the natural flavor of the mackerel without overpowering it with heavy seasoning or fats. The marinade adds a zesty, aromatic touch with just the right balance of garlic, lemon, and herbs, while the grilling method ensures the fish stays moist and tender. It’s a simple yet incredibly flavorful way to enjoy mackerel.
Additionally, grilling the fish helps reduce the amount of oil used in cooking, making it a healthier alternative to frying. Plus, grilling imparts a lovely smoky flavor that complements the richness of the mackerel perfectly.
