Fantastic I made 2 sauces one with butter, for family and the other with extra virgin olive oil as I’m dairy intolerant it was super tasty. Thanks
Delicious and easy. Used a grill pan on the stove.
Great recipe for fresh King fish! Keeps it from drying out and has terrific flavor.
Made this tonight with a fresh side of King Mackerel a friend caught last night. Only used a spritz from half a lime and it was more than enough. Fantastic! My husband, who is sometimes leery of fish, texted our friend to tell us he can drop off more mackerel whenever he catches one! Paired with fresh string beans from the garden and some cheddar broccoli rice.
Definitely recommend using aluminum foil or a grill mat because this will definitely flake and you may lose some fish to the fire gods.
I really enjoyed this recipe for our dinner. Since I love fishing mackerel this recipe was quick and really easy to prep.
We really enjoy a great fresh fish dinner. Even our grandchildren know breaded fish from the frozen food section isn’t any good and there as many taste in fish as there in vegetables.
We bought a wonderful Spanish Mackerel from the monger, fired up the stove and put on the grill. In less that 10 minutes we were sitting down to wonderful , easy, quick and very delicious meal.
