Bbqd Cornish Mackerel Fillets Recipes

BBQ'D CORNISH MACKEREL FILLETS

Steps:

• 1. Lay out the fillets on a flat tray and squeeze lemon juice on them. Season well with pepper and scrape lemon zest over the fillets. Just before cooking sprinkle a little olive oil over the fish.
• 2. Place the tray on a pre-heated BBQ and close the lid. The fillets will take about 5 minutes to cook. Cooking on the BBQ adds a great smokey flavour to the fish. If you do not have a BBQ then it works just as well under the grill.
• 3. Serve with your favourite salad and a spoonful of horseradish which works really well with Mackerel

BARBECUED MACKEREL WITH GINGER, CHILLI & LIME DRIZZLE

Steps:

• Light the barbecue and allow the flames to die down until the ashes have gone white with heat. Make the drizzle by whisking 2 tbsp olive oil and all the other ingredients together in a small bowl, adjusting the ratio of honey and lime to make a sharp sweetness. Season to taste.
• Score each side of the mackerel about 6 times, not quite through to the bone. Brush the fish with the remaining oil and season lightly. Barbecue the mackerel for 5-6 mins on each side until the fish is charred and the eyes have turned white. Spoon the drizzle over the fish and allow to stand for 2-3 mins before serving.

GRILLED MACKEREL FILLETS

Steps:

• Mix all the marinade ingredients, then pour over the fish. Set aside for 20 mins.
• For the salad, combine the sesame oil, lime juice, soy, honey and sweet chilli to make a dressing, then toss with the leaves.
• Grill the marinated mackerel under a hot grill for 5 mins, basting two or three times with any excess marinade, until the flesh begins to flake. Slice and serve with the dressed salad leaves.
