Grilled Mackerel with Garlic and Paprika
May 28, 2011
This is as basic as it gets - good fish, a simple ground paste to marinate the fish with, a hot grill, and a weekday dinner is done with minimum fuss.
Ingredients
- 1.5 lbs Spanish mackerel or other oily fish, filleted, with skin on
- 1 tsp hot paprika
- 1/2 tsp turmeric powder
- 2 cloves of garlic, peeled
- 1 tsp coarse sea salt
- 1/2 tsp rice wine vinegar
- Oil to baste fish
Preparation
- Using a mortar and pestle, make a paste out of the garlic, paprika, turmeric, sea salt and vinegar.
- Apply the paste to the skinless side of the fish, and let it marinate for about 30 minutes or so.
- Heat the grill to medium high. After the fish is done marinating, brush both sides lightly with oil, and grill, skin side first, about 5 minutes each side.
- Serve hot with rice.
