Barbecue mackerel
To summarize, barbecue mackerel can be successfully prepared in the oven by following a series of steps that replicate the grilling experience. Starting with the preparation of the fish, which involves cleaning and optionally filleting or cutting into steaks, you then move on to marinating the mackerel with a mix of flavors that can include olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, smoked paprika, and a sweetening agent like honey or brown sugar. The oven should be preheated to its highest temperature, and if available, the broiler function should be utilized with the rack positioned near the top element for direct heat. The mackerel is then cooked on a lightly oiled baking sheet or wire rack, broiled for several minutes on each side while being basted with additional marinade or barbecue sauce for flavor and moisture. Once the fish is flaky, moist inside, and crispy outside, it's ready to serve. This method allows for the enjoyment of barbecue flavors indoors, making it a versatile recipe for any season or living situation.
