Mackerel: Lime-Broiled Mackerel with Herbs

Source of Recipe


From "Fish"






List of Ingredients



• 3 Tbsp olive oil
  
• Zest and juice of 1 lime
  
• 3 Tbsp chopped fresh herbs, such as parsley, thyme, rosemary, tarragon, chives and/or chervil
  
• Salt and freshly ground black pepper
  
• 4 mackerel fillets, skin on, 4 to 6 ounces each
  






Instructions



1. Mix together the oil, lime zest and juice, herbs, salt and pepper; toss with the fillets. Let sit for 10 minutes, and no longer.
   
   
2. Preheat the broiler.
   
   
3. Broil the mackerel skin side down, about 4 inches from the heat source for about 5 minutes. (Use a thin-bladed knife to check the interior of the fillets; they will be opaque and tender when done.) Brush the fillets once or twice with the marinade while cooking.
