Cook’s notes 

  • Spread a teaspoon of whole grain mustard or curry paste on the flesh side of the mackerel fillet, and cook as before.
  • Some fillets of mackerel may be thicker than others, the thicker the piece of fish the longer it’ll take to cook. If you want you can turn it once during cooking time.
  • You can also use herring fillets in this recipe.

Added bonus
Mackerel is an oil-rich fish that is naturally low in saturated fat, full of vitamins and minerals, and an excellent source of essential omega 3 fats. The body cannot make these omega 3 fats. So to ensure your body gets a regular supply, eat oil-rich fish, like mackerel, salmon or trout, once a week.
