Ingredients
- 6 mackerel fillets, rinsed and de-boned
- 1 lemon, juiced and zested
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- chopped fresh parsley, for garnish (optional)
Here's how to make it:
- Combine the lemon juice, zest, olive oil, garlic and salt and pepper, to taste, in a shallow dish. Add the fish and marinate for about 30 minutes.
