Mackerel Recipe (Easy Pan-Fry Method)
Report
We have been eating this healthy and easy mackerel recipe whenever fresh mackerel is available. We think it's the best way to cook oily fish.

Ingredients
- 12 ounces mackerel fillets
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon neutral oil
Instructions
- Start with two mackerel fillets (1 fish split in half, with head still on or not). Remove the black membrane on the inside of the belly, and rinse the fish. This membrane has a fishy taste and can be bitter.
- Pat the fillets thoroughly dry. Sprinkle the salt evenly on both sides of each one. Marinate for 20 minutes at room temperature.
- Preheat your pan over medium-high heat until a few drops of water tossed onto the hot surface bead and dance around the pan. When the pan is completely dry again, add the oil and the fillets skin side down. Cook for about 3 minutes per side. Serve!
Notes
- Note: If the fish is too big for your pan, you can remove the head or cut the fillets in half crosswise so that the pan will accommodate them.
