Notes
INGREDIENT TIP: Ask the butcher at the fish counter to remove the backbone, head, and tail, so that you have two fillets of the mackerel with the skin on.
SERVING TIP: If you’re making this recipe for guests and want it to look nice, serve this on a platter on a bed of raw onions and thinly sliced lemon rounds with Scallion Salad (here) on the side.
