Broiled Spanish Mackerel

Thanks for sharing the recipe it is perfect even my husband who normally didn’t mackerel loves it so

Very, very, good. I had 2 large fillets with pretty thick centres, so 7 minutes didn’t quite do it . I raised them a little closer to the elements for another 2 minutes and that did the trick. I can’t believe how this simple, fast and easy recipe produced such a delicious meal.

It was very good. I soaked the Mackerel in some milk for a bit. It makes it taste less strong.

We caught King Mackerel while deep sea fishing in Key West, Florida. We kept plenty of filets, went back to the condo and used this recipe. Absolutely amazing! This is a five-star restaurant experience at home. Thanks you very much!! Joseph F. Lahue

This is my first time I try the recipe and mackerel. This was good. It was very easy and quick to make. I served it with a side of Byrdhouse blistered tomatoes from this site. It is a great combo! I used coarse salt and it came out perfect. Now as is I think it is good, but I would like to know if adding a bit of minced garlic would make this recipe even better. I love how fast it is. Dinner in NO TIME hands down. Add also crusty bread and there you have it!

I did not use oil at all and did not missed it. Used plain and smoked paprika. Loved it.

Used frozen atlantic mackerel filets instead and it was delicious!

Super easy and delicious. Make sure you have fresh mackerel. We used smoked paprika for a little more favor.

Super easy and delicious!

This was utterly delicious! I used my halogen oven and grilled then on the high shelf on the turbo setting for 8 minutes. yum!

This was a great and easy way to enjoy the day’s catch! Thanks for sharing.

Thanks for the recipe! This is a nice way to prepare mackerel. I’ve had decent results substituting Old Bay seasoning for paprika.

I used lemon juice (since I had it on hand) rather than lemon slices, and added a bit of chilli. I was a little worried that this recipe would add too many strong flavours and would overwhelm the naturally strong taste of the fish, but it was just right: didn’t try to mask the fishiness, but added some complimentary tastes. I broiled the fish for 6 minutes and it came out perfect! Served with (among other things) plain rice and the flavour of the fish was really taken up by the rice perfectly.

Holy Makerel! Simple and yummy. Bonus – makerel is a sustainable fish.

Fresh caught… Like we caught them today. Made my first batch just now. Love it!! I may did add Mrs. Dash Lemon Pepper instead of salt & pepper. I do not add salt to my dishes. I think it may also be good with Panko to crisp the top up. What does everyone think?

This was very tasty. The lemon and the paprika work very well with Spanish Mackerel. My only problem was that I could not get the fish to cook completely under the lemon. I ended up microwaving the fish, in 30 second intervals, for about a minute to complete the cooking after I had broiled it for about 7 minutes. Because of this, I am only giving it 4 stars.

Made this last night and it was so simple to make. I did not have fresh lemon so I added California Lemon Peel (McCormick) in the seasonig mix along with some Zesty Lemon (Weber). Before baking I sprinkled additional Lemon Peel on top. We had Mackerel steaks (instead of fillet) so cooking time was a bit longer and I did flip the steaks for an additional 5 minutes to complete cooking throughout. They came out moist & flaky and very delicious.

4.5 stars!!! Delicious! The perfect amount of seasoning – you could still enjoy the flavor of the fish.

The olive oil and lemon added just enough flavor. The broiled lemon was an excellent idea.
